Comments on: About the Monkey http://monkeytales.net Highlights from the Monkey's Canopy Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:41:09 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 hourly 1 By: monkey http://monkeytales.net/about-the-monkey/comment-page-1#comment-26 monkey Thu, 27 Aug 2009 00:41:09 +0000 http://monkeytales.net/?page_id=11#comment-26 Jim: Many thanks for referring my old pictures to your shipmates. They were spectacular action shots, particularly when taken from the deck of the Missouri. If you read some of the stories on the same site, you will note that the Wisconsin (I was on in 1951) also ran aground in the Hudson River, and for several hours was sitting in the mud in New Jersey. We were all waiting to go ashore, and nobody knew where the captain was. It was quite a summer cruise. The direct link to the Tabberer pictures is http://navystories.net/navystories_files/ddddesailors/wildridesailors.htm. Regarding Jim Todd, thanks for your editing of his picture. If you would like to send it email, please feel free to do so. Jim was one of my fraternity brothers at Oregon State, and tragically died in exercises shortly after commissioning.

What a pleasant surprise to find these pics, which I have already forwarded to a couple of shipmates. I took the liberty of repairing the Kodak-damaged picture of your good friend, Jim Todd. How can I get this .jpg pic to you? I was aboard the USS Tabberer DE-418 when you took the two pictures while we were refueling from the Missouri.
