At random: "Without courage, you might as well not be in it. You’ve got to have courage--moral courage, physical courage--and honor. Honor means telling the truth even when it might not be to your advantage" Retired Capt. Charles W. Rush Jr. (85), Navy Cross recipient, when asked to give advice to Chiefs and Junior Officers in today's submarine service.

Subject: PS -

PAMPANITO is truly blessed by having a strong cadre of docents - and especially enriched by the active participation of several of our "big brothers" from WWII. Bill Fong and Ed Blanchard represent the two "top scoring" WWII submarines:

Bill - TAUTOG - most ships sunk (26) and
Ed - FLASHER - most tonnage sunk (100,231)

So their interactions with our visitors are really spiced with BTDT comments.

As you can see from the photos, they also truly enjoyed a memorable conversation with Alistair.

Thanks, Bill and Ed for your active participation in so many of PAMPANITO's programs! Here's to you --
