The Sumner Memorial Plaque at the National Museum of the
Pacific War
At Fredericksburg, Texas
Hello Shipmates, Ladies & Friends.
Hello, gang. What a great time we had in Texas. For those who were there,
I don't need to elaborate. For those who were NOT, you missed a great
time. Everything was great, even the weather was nice; we beat the real hot
weather, by going early.
We had our Memorial Ceremony at the
ADM Nimitz Museum of the Pacific - very nice place, a lot of history there. We
also had the Sumner plaque dedication. Charles Blackburn, our only plankowner
present, unveiled the plaque with the help of Bobby Moore. A very touching
moment!
