Saw posting by Richard Johns. If Richard sees this, can you contact me? I am looking for anyone who might have known my father, William Pitz, who served as QMC the same period you did. |

Just
wanted to tell everyone of a great book to read. "The Last
Stand Of The Tin Can Sailors" by James D. Hornfischer. An
excellent story of WWII destroyer warfare. |
