                                                                                          The item in the center of this group of photos is a memorial photo of our visit to the USS LST SHIP MEMORIAL that was signed by all the volunteer workers on board the ship during our visit of July 9, 2009.

                                                                                          The group photo in the center of the 3rd row includes (left to right):  Mike Reuter, Al Lehto, Jimmy Stephenson, Larry Armstrong, Don Smith, Ernie Dykstra and Tom Strassburg (of the USS Sutter County)
