We launched her 30 years ago, and have ship-mates here at Fred's Place. If NOBODY ELSE wants it, (hello men); I slowly volunteer as a plank-owning Swab for the girl. There are more qualified personnel out there than me--I was E type. Am still looking for our CO, P. Lutz; and XO, C.Glass,, no, not to complain.

As for all the names that I recognize, Barone, Flath, Kammerererer, Dickinsheets, Bingamen, Hughes, Devlin, oh and yes the happiest GMC in the Guard Danny Lavoie. How are all of you guys doing? Mitch Gammill was right about remembering the good times. They all seem good now! Let me hear from you. Who's keeping in touch with who?

I served on the Sherman from 1989 to 1992 Jan. It was the install years, when all Weapons systems were put on at dockside. The ride out of the yards back to home port was something to expierence.

SERVED ON BOARD SHERMAN IN 68 AND LEFT HER FOR BASE WOODS HOLE BEFORE HER VIETNAM TOUR BECAUSE I'D ALREADY HAD THE PLEASURE ABOARD THE 311'CUTTER HALFMOON IN '67'. SERVED ON THE HAMILTON IN BETWEEN AND SO HAD TWO 378' CUTTER TOURS. THEY WERE PARADISE TO AN OLD 311' CUTTER SAILOR FOR SURE BUT ALL THE PATROLS WERE NORTH ATLANTIC WEATHER STATIONS AND THOSE 378'S TOOK SOME HEAVY DUTY IN THOSE DAYS. I HAVE LOTS OF COLD AND ROUGH MEMORIES SPRINKLED WITH ICE BERGS THAT I WOULDN'T TRADE FOR ANYTHING. SHERMAN WAS A GOOD BOAT THEN AND IS JUST AS GOOD NOW, 30 YEARS LATER, 'I'M SURE. SEMPER PARATUS. NICE TO HEAR OF ALL YOU SHIPMATES. I'M NOT A PLANK OWNER BUT ONLY MISSED BY MONTHS. YES I REMEMBER YOU JOHN MCGAFFIGAN. A REUNION SOUNDS LIKE FUN AND I DO KNOW OF ONE OTHER PLANK OWNER AROUND.

Boot camp to Sherman Dec of 76. I must have really had a great time because i do not remember pulling into Puerto Rico or St Thomas.

On 04/03/98 Sant Fournier, MCPO (rsant@d1.uscg.mil) said:
Was reserve RM1 who came aboard in January 1977 I believe, in San Juan after Gitmo. We did operation Springboard. Capt Bartlett was our fearless leader, and Harvey Wallbangers were the favourite libations at St. Thomas. Sherman experience has always stayed with me, I have always felt very much part of her. Believe Capt. Bartlett has settled down in Marblehead Massachusetts. Lost my Sherman baseball cap in the storm of 78, guiding Gloucester Station 44ft into Beverly Harbour. Robert Sant Fournier, MCPO, TCCM, USCGR.

On 01/12/97 Bill Hessmiller (hessmiller@gmail.com) said:
I learned more electronics on this unit than in all the college courses taken combined. This is due to Chief ET Terrieut (probably misspelled-sorry). His philosophy (as I asked him so many times to send me to school) was "tear in there and you'll learn MORE than those schools will show ya." Tom Caroll ETN2 was brilliant, Tom Young RM3 hillarious, Mike "Rudie" Rudloff was innocent, and "Robbie" Robinson RM3 was nuts (but not nearly as insane as "Rosie" Grier!) I particularly enjoyed at least one of the bar room brawls (I believe Chief T started)...it was my only ride ever in a "paddy" wagon. Bill PS Who can forget, "the roach coach is on the approach?" And to think we used to eat that crap!
On 01/08/97 Mark Labrecque (labrecque@jerseycape.net) said:
