Comments: Signed on 10/7/98, but it only put on my first name and I have always gone by Doug not William, so I thought I better try again in case someone wanted to contact me, and did not know my first name. I also have the book "Riverine Assault Force TF 117" from 1967. Has a list of all plank owners for all ships and boats, plus pictures.
