My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.

This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.

I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.

Thank You All
For Your Support

Did correspondence for crewmembers wishing
to transfer from CVA-62 for various reasons,
separations, discharges and leaves.
I couldn't have been treated nicer.
Their happiest day was when I called someone
down to Personel to sign their
