Lt Crestin was a good and honest man.

Did not know Earl personally, but do fondly remember my year on Dutton and the great Navy people I served with there. Live in New Hampshire and would love to meet with anyone.

BTW the story about the truck and hamburgers in Norfolk is really true, I was standing there.

I just found out that Earl had died. I'm very sorry to hear about that. He and I had corresponded about four years ago, and I had promised to send him some photos when I got around to to sorting through my voluminous photo collection. I just sent a photo and key of 1960 Ocdet 1 sailors, before I realized he had died. So, to whom should I send the photos now? And, thanks so much for rescuing the site!

Earl's TAGS site is back on-line at the original URL - Domain name: tags-21.info

It went on-line yesterday in the late afternoon. Thank you all for bearing with us while we worked to make it happen and for your support and encouragement during the time it was down.

If you know of anyone that served on the T-AGS in any capacity, please let them know the site is up and running as Earl intended.

Thank you all,

Phil and I were notified yesterday that the tags-21.info domain is ours. So things have moved along faster than we originally expected, which is great. We have a few more items to take care of but the site should be on-line at the original domain later today or early tomorrow. We will post a message as soon as it is up.

Today, 09 Apr 2015, was a special day; LT David Crestin and I were in contact via telephone. He was the Admin Officer when I reported aboard the Bowditch in Feb 1966 and during my tour on her. He was a top notch officer and one of my favorites.

While looking at some of the ship's specs I noticed the fuel capacity and range. All three had a fuel capacity of 19,023.3 barrels and a range of 21,300 miles. That equates to .893 barrel per mile, or 37.51 gallons per mile. Our ships weren't exactly VW Beetles when it came to mileage.

Thanks David, it was a genuine pleasure talking with you.
