Years Served: 1960-1964…Very few of the Supply crew from those years ever show up on the boards, would like to hear from some of the rest of the crew.If you were aboard in 1960-64 I cut your hair , washed your clothes or sold you a candy bar out of the ships store. :D Enjoyed my time on the Wedderburn,what a great ship and good memories. rod_barnett@hotmail.com

Years Served: 1965-1969…Many good memories of Westpac and the old Wedderburn crew. I wonder how many remember the time that the ship rammed us from behind at the dock in Hawaii.I was a DC2 ad was released from the ship in the Philippines just before the final return to the states.My email is wearout1@aol.com or thru my web page which is erweartech.com. Haven’t heard from anyone in years. Good luck to all.I would like to hit one of the reunions some time.
