To all the old shipmates from 88-91 trips to the Angler's Club, Maine, and NYC. We had
the best crew of any ship in the 1st Dist. It was an honor to be a part of that crew.

I had the pleasure of riding the Proud Mary from 1985-1989. I was an MK3 and MK2. CWO
Coffe was the CO at the time. Did my whole time with Gramps and Killer (Kilbreathe). Dennis Casey,
Tom Inman, Darrel Farnum, & Bernie ? I did 20 years and it was without a doubt the best tour I had.

I was on the Sage from 1973 to 1975. Scraping paint and bird shit off mussel covered buoys
was the best job I ever had. That 1st class boats Larouche telling us to 'hang it high'. I can still
hear Capt. Jim Seward yelling 'let her go'! Wish I was cruising down the Sakonnet river right
now.....

Ref: Gramps-one of a kind for sure. It seems hard to believe now what went down then...Miss
Newport/Bristol/Narragansett Bay. How did Rahilly get XO? Just kidding. Is she a surgical theatre or
not? Anyone know for sure? Elmo still out there?

Seems like I am not the only person that remembers life aboard the 'White Sage'. What a
crazy crew, lead by none other than G.H. Bassett. All work done since then has seemed easy and all
parties nowhere near as fun. It was hell some days and heaven on others. Hello to pomp, moe, spiz,
doc, the stone man, pete, and all the rest.

It is with deep regret to inform crewmembers of the White Sage that former CO, CWO Donald
Bangs passed over the bar in Sept 2003. He was CO from 1954 to 1957. He will be sadly missed by
all of his crewmembers.

The sage was my dream assignment of my 23 years that I spent in the Guard. I was honored
to serve on the sage as EPO from 93-96. CWO Blank and CWO Cooper were the CO's durring that period.
I was there when we lost gramps, It was the darkest day ever on the sage. Other than that one bad
time the tour was the most enjoyable of my carreer . I would enjoy hearing from any of the crew from
that period.

Was on the Sage from fall 72 till 1/2/73. Ronnie Clark is the only name in here I
recogize. CWO Seward was skipper. He would give me the con to take it thru the 'hole against the
current. Got stuck everytime. 9.6 knots just wouldn't out run the 10 kt current. Loved the ship
anyway.

White Sage will live on . . . a non-denominational medical relief ministry will reactivate
the old girl, install a basic operating theater and x-ray set-up, and sail her to Tonga within a
year. Much better than going to the bottom as a fish reef or going to some third-world dictatorship
to be painted grey. If you can volunteer your time/expertise/advice or just need info, e-mail me.
