Bob Shelly! Phillyman. Just to jog your memory I was
on the Corry when you were on the Johnston. I was POIC
of the linehandlers when the happy jack ran aground
5 minutes after getting underway. We spoke to each other
a few minutes before that.

I came aboard from USS Chilton APA-38. The general was
new and squeaky clean. Chilton was always out on ops,
never clean. Both were good ships though. I'd like to
