John brought up a good subject about honoring Ron "Warshot" Smith. The patch for the Seal his boat with all the depth charges were done by others . He was also on the Skipjack and his name will be on their patch label. I have a way to also do a line for him on the Seal. Because of the timing of his post I am able to still do this (labellinig will start very soon (less than two weeks) I cannot add or change after we do all the displays.

I will try to accommodate any special requsts (Don Gentry has sent me his and all are done). I have spaces available yet and duplicate donations. Please e mail me at rjarenski@aol.com or post here. I do not need ranks or rates just names and boat numbers, or any special information such as I have for "Warshot". If I can do it I will let you know, or if I do an alternative I will let you know where his name will be.

Thanks John for your heads up on this and I do hope that everyone will read this and offer any names they woulld like us to find a place for on our display.

Please honor one of the Radiomen that served on the Sterlet during WWII. It would be much appreciated.
