USS Corry (to the right) taken in Malta about 1965.
You can almost make out Rick Palmer at quarters on the torpedo deck.
It was sent to Rick by Chris Hodge in England who is retired CPO electrician
Royal Navy and lives near Portsmouth England where there is a photo
studio that has a huge archive of warship photos. The photographer
recently bought out the negatives from one in Malta where this came
from. He is sending Rick a perfect copy from the original negative.
There might be a few for the next reunion if you all would like.
