Am sending this for my husband due to his failing eyesight. Tim (nickname)MM3 is a planker on the Cunningham 1944-46. Ship was at Okinawa when both atomic bombs were dropped. He is now 93 yrs. old, still is able to cut the grass, and is amazing with other chores in maintaining the yard, etc. In August we will be heading toward 73 years married, two sons, two grandchildren, four great grandchildren. Life has blessed us greatly. The Cunningham was a great ship and I spent most of my time aboard her in the Engine Room.
