These are pictures of the Dickson showing the damage
receive in Cape Haderas on Dec 3, 1959 while returning from a carribean
cruise. We were given a helicopter escort to Norfolk for repairs. I
will attempt to send these pictures over several e-mails in the hope
that they will work this time.

These two pictures show the damage to the post office from on deck
where the wave broke thru. No names available.



��
These two pictures show the shoring done at the post office in the
passageway, and Seaman Granoski pointing to the damaged area on deck.



��
These two pictures were taken of the Storekeeper's Office after the
storm. Ed Pelrine is one of the guys in the pictures.




Some members of the "Radar Gang".
The photo was taken between 1948 and 1950.
Dean, Third from left, was promoted to Chief, and
this was accomplished during an Minority enlistment.
That's me, wearing hat in the center.

The Picture on the left was taken at the Plantation Club,
Nice, France, Aug 18 1951. Showing Heesch, Whiting.and me.
Heesch, I believe was from Steubenville, Ohio.
He was one of the crew members that was in reserves
and re-called to active duty for the Koren War.

And one final note, I believe that the radio call sign was "NTOL", Nan,
Tare, Oboe, Love, using the phonic alphabet, that was used at that time.
