Years Served: 3 Feb ’60-May ’63…Served on Marshall as a Radioman for over three years. One of the best duty stations I had in my 26 year career. Have many fond memories of this old lady…….

Norm Reeves

Years Served: 69-70…I was one of the last crew members to serve on board. i still remember the day the boiler blew up.like to hear from some old shipmates. i retire from the army in 1994.

Mel Medhus.

Years Served: 1961 to 1965…I was a pretty sorry sailor, but managed to straighten (and sober) myself up later on. I remember moving from San Diego to Washington State to become a reserve training ship. I also have a very old newspaper artical about the fire we were envolved in on the Seatle ship yards. Now I am in Atlanta, getting ready to retire in three or four years.
