Hi there, First of all I would like to complement u on an excellent site which u haff created. I must say that u heleped me a lot in comprehending all the history text i was forced to read in doing my history module. It was very organised and all the infomation are easy to comprehend. Thanks once again. I would like to suggest if its not too bad of an idea that u add an extension to the history of india to more of a forum or rather a discussion on certain historical issues especially where politics is concern and where people and even u urself can post ur opinion on how u perceive the whole thing (e.g: how close was the accusation that the fast carried by Gandhi was more of an emotional blackmail..etc) and .. well it would be nice if you could add some info about Jinnah or at least try to view it from both sides because the independence of India cannot be summarised by Gandhi alone though he may have a lot to do with it.... nevertheless these are just suggestions. Still I simply am grateful to have come across your site! esp since there is other dimension to it such as the entertainmant sites esp the cinema..i adore hindi movies So.. keep up with the good work and i would love to see the site again when it updates

We knew we had a prize, but what to do ? It was a weekend & hardly a soul about. "SO" we snuck up to the foc!sle opened the scuttle & put threw it down into the chiefs quarters. Well there's not enough time or room here to tell about the mess that gull made before it was caught. My buddy & i kept that secret till we were later transferred to different ships.

Its bad enough that I keep getting spammed to death by these credit card debt offers. It seems like everywhere I turn I see ads for repair credit this and that. Now these companies are posting messages on your guest book to advertise their credit counseling services? Give me a break! Maybe some of us don�t mind having bad credit and just want to use the Internet in peace. Post your junk elsewhere.

He was discharged in December 1972. I reaffiliated with the Navy Reserves in 1988 and am a Senior Chief Steelworker in the Seabees. I have almost 21 years in the Navy Reserves. I have our 1971-1972 Med Cruise Book and look at it from time to time.

Gail and I wish to thank everyone for their cards, phone calls, e-mails and general concern during my recent surgery and recovery. I am getting stronger everyday, just didn't think it would take so long. The doc says in about 3 months (from the date of the surgery) I should be feeling better than I did in the last few years. Again, thanks, I am priviledged to be part of such a great group of shipmates. The treasurer's report is late (from 9-30-02 through 12-3l-02) due to my surgery but will get it out ASAP. In the meantime please send in your $20 dues (if you have not already done so) since they were payable on February 1. Will get membership cards out with Gail's help. Thanks, again, Wayne

TAPS: Shipmate Glen W. Tierney was laid to rest on January 15,2003. Glen was constantly providing me with Corry shipmates names,addresses and email addresses over the last few years. He was an ET3 and served aboard the Corry in 1960-61. Although the USS Merideth was "his" ship he unselfishly provided me with info on Corry sailors. I always told Glen when I met him I would buy him a drink for all his good efforts for our Assn. I am having a drink in his honor right now. I will miss him.Jim

Ahoy, Shipmates .. You�re invited to visit my Web site at barnaclesworld.com which includes a special page dedicated to the destroyer USS Damato (DD-871) and to the sacrifices made by so many Navy veterans of all the great wars and conflicts. BARNACLESWORLD.COM is a project under construction, as is the Damato page included within the overall site. I�m new at Web page design, so I�m sure there are bugs to be found and improvements to made. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. Thanks Bill Truesdale, QM3 (1966-70)

CUBAN BLOCKADE MEDAL: I just received my Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. The Corry was origionally ruled ineligible for the Medal because of boiler problems that caused us to pull into Kingston,Jamaica for repairs. If my memory is correct,we were on the Blockade for 30 some days, a couple of days in Kingston and back out for 40 more days. The origional ruling was that the ship had to be on the Blockade for 45 or more days. Saw an article in Tin Can Sailors mag. that Corry was awarded the Medal and I applied. Only took about 18 months,ha ha. They also sent me the National Defense Medal.Jim

I just stumbled across this poem I wrote about the CORRY way back on April 20th, 1981. I thought some of you shipmates might find it amusing... It's titled "The Last Mission of USS CORRY (DD 817) December morning, put to see The Tonkin Gulf our destiny The weather like our ship of gray Was cold as ice, and underway Twin screws churning, fantail foam Waving farewell, we left home Southward bound to Panama The chill gave way to sunburned thaw Then Pacific, peaceful lay Deep blue beauty, sunny day And looking out across the glare No sign of land, not anywhere We pulled in Pearl, then Subic Bay It seemed like breifings, every day And breaches loaded with destruction Two machine guns, new construction At final breifing, Yankee Station Was to be assigned location Then that day of eerie calm Underway, to Vietnam General Quarters! Battle Stations! All hands in assigned locations Cruising up so close to shore I swear, I heard the VC snore Seventeenth - Eighteenth parallel That old tin can sure gave 'em hell And Charlie screamed and ran in fear At point blank range, he disappeared Then we fired in the DMZ And at the living in Quang Tri And up the coast, and Quaviet The body count was higher yet And early in that morning light The bodies floating, deathly sight For seven months we kept that pace Around the clock, more lives to waste Then finally the word came down Not to fire another round All hands rejoiced, the end was here To Singapore, for Tiger beer! But R and R received delay We ran aground while underway With skipper relieved and spirits low To dry-dock, Subic, engines slow Finally, the word was passed That we were heading home at last And while on route, command decision Corry's fate was decommision For she was old and battle wrought From all the missions she had fought A vintage warship now, she'd be Retiring to the mothball fleet But I'll remember better days On board the CORRY, guns ablaze And though, for now, just recognition She served with pride, that final mission

I got orders to the CORRY from my tour with the Marines. I checked aboard in 1971 and fell instantly in love with her. Sure, she tossed and pitched, but, I loved every minute of it! The rougher, the better. Rarely was she in port for long and for an adventurous soul, CORRY was heaven. I used to say, "I can get anywhere on this ship in 30 seconds!" And I loved my Sick Bay... And the crew... And all the adventures we had. Our Motto was "I may be old, but I can still hump it!" CORRY was true to her word and sailed the seven seas. I salute all you shipmates, fore and aft. God, what a beautiful old ship she was! I used to go up on the signal bridge in high seas to enjoy the rolls... And the roughest seas I ever saw, were off the coastline of Algeria where we rode the waves, or rather, surfed on them... I hope ships go to heaven too... I'd like to see her again...

This is a reminder that we do have to have the money by August 31 in order to firm up the tour bus and the banquet. Reunion fee is $50 PER PERSON and tour is $30 PER PERSON. I know some people are not arriving until Friday and will not be able to go on the tour but if you have sent in your reunion fee money and not your tour money please do so ASAP. Once we reserve the buses or drop off a bus we will not be able to get another one. It won't be long now until the shipmates are together talking about old times. Looking forward to October.

I am seeking help for my home business and ask that you all visit my web site and examine the products and services, and the business opportunity and help me by either becoming a customer of mine, or joining me by becoming an independent representative like I am for EXCEL Telecommunications. Thank you all, and for those that will be at the reunion in Roanoke, I hope that you enjoy yourselves.

We talked to our coordinator at Hotel Roanoke and found out there are now 35 rooms booked for the reunion. This is a great turnout. She informed us that 15 rooms remain and that as of September 2, 2002 all remaining rooms will be dropped off. If anyone after that date wants to reserve a room at the hotel it will be on an availability basis only and she cannot guarantee the $109 per night rate. We encourage anyone who is planning to attend the reunion and has not made reservations to please get them in ASAP. A reunion newsletter is being mailed out within a week with updates about the reunion and directions to the hotel. These letters will be sent out to members who have booked at the hotel.

We have just put a new website on the Corry's LINKS.It is the National Geographic website for D-DAY.It has remberences by those who served that day. Some of them served on the USS Corry DD 463,the 2nd ship of the USN to have that name. We are the 3rd ship to have the name.Read the remeberences of Grant Gullickson and Richardson.It makes you feel proud to have served on a USN ship to have the same name. I think it is time for a 4th USS Corry. Jim

There is a pedestrian bridge from the Hotel over a major road with escalators to take us down to the Market area.Many shops and restaraunts in this area.We have 29 rooms booked already,so if you plan on attending,be sure to get your reservation in.We only have 50 rooms set aside.If we fill those rooms early, we can get more.However, from August on the Hotel may be booked solid as October is prime time in Roanoke.Thanks,Jim.

I was on Corry as RDSN in 1965 and for the Med criuse and before that the side trip to the Domican Republic crises of the Spring of 65. Joined the ships assoc. a few months back and looking forward to the reunion in Oct. Doubt there will be many I will know but it will be fun anyway.I seem to have missed the reunion here in Annapolis. Didn't know of it. I guess the local paper was meant for reading before we wrap the crabs in it.( it is called the "crab wrapper") I left Corry in Jan 66 and went to New DD818 for 2 years another Med trip, Gitmo and West Pac. My first of 3. I later served on Morton DD948 ( the saltiest ship in the Navy) in Pearl Harbor for 4 years.Also a member of Morton ship association, SCV, PLPOW and several car (Ford) and truck clubs. So many things and so little time, but I am having fun. Ahoy Rick Palmer Annapolis Maryland.

To Charlie Horvath If you can come to this years reunion,think about bringing that new squeezebox you purchased while in the Med.(56-57).,then you could serenade the troops like you used to do on ships transfering fuel,oil or persons alongside the Corry.The only other thing I would ask is instead of playing the 100 versions of Lady of Spain that I could invariably pick out of just about every song played,you learn a new song.

Hello everyone, hope by now everyone has received their newsletter sent out a week ago about the dues and reunion updates. One clarification about the reunion fee of $50. This is PER PERSON as stated in the reunion package sent out in September. The fee includes your get together reception on Thursday night (food will be enough for a meal), your breakfast on Saturday morning with refreshements being served through until 12:00, the banquet dinner on Saturday night which will be prime rib plus a fish and/or chicken dish and all the trimmings and beer will be furnished with a cash bar for anything else. Also, a hospitality room will be furnished for you for the entire reunion with soft drinks, coffee and light snacks served. This is an exceptional value for our members because the organization is picking up part of the costs through your dues. The dues are starting to come in now for 2002 and we thank all who have already sent their's in. A few have sent in their reunion fee but we will not deposit these for several months. Remember the $50 PER PERSON is due by August 15th as well as the $30 PER PERSON for the tour to VMI, Lexington and the D-Day Memorial. This tour includes lunch. Please hold on to the two reunion letters that have been sent out to refer back to. There will be a post card sent out as a reminder sometime in June or July to the members who have booked reservations at the hotel. Thanks and hope to see each of you in October. Wayne

I tried this before but don't think it took. If you are having problems getting your reservations to take through the Hotel Roanoke website please let me know. You may also make reservations by calling 540-985-5900. Be sure to tell them you are with the USS Corry Association to get our group rates.

I have had one shipmate tell me they were unable to have their reservations go through on the website for Hotel Roanoke but there have been at least 3 who have been successful. Please let me know if you have any trouble or even let me know if you can get through. That way we will know if it's the website or some other problem. In case you cannot get through please call 540-985-5900 (Hotel Roanoke) to make your reservations. Tell them you are with the USS Corry Association. Thanks

Gail and I are working on the tour for the D-Day Memorial, Natural Bridge and possibly VMI/Lexington area with our contact at Hotel Roanoke. Hopefully within a couple of months we will have info out to you on final plans, costs, etc. I hope all of you are making your reservations as quickly as possible for the 2002 reunion. Click on Hotel Roanoke website and get those reservations in. I know this is early but we have had 57 shipmates respond that they will be attending this reunion (would make this the best attendance to date) and we have reserved only 60 rooms. We based this on the number of yes responses we received when the reunion info was sent out back in Sept. October is Hotel Roanoke's busiest month so don't know if any more rooms would be available. So, get those reservations in early so you won't miss out! Also, 2002 dues are payable by February 1st. We have been getting some dues already (thanks to you all who get them in early). The dues are still $20 per year and this goes to offset some of the costs of the reunion, mailings including newsletters, upkeep of this website and various other things for the membership. Please send your check for dues to USS Corry Association, c/o Wayne Owens, Treasurer, 5552 Heather Hill Drive, Roanoke, VA 24019. A card will be sent out soon as a reminder especially for those do not have website access. If you have paid your dues already thanks and please disregard this notice. Looking forward to seeing all of you in Roanoke in October and HAPPY NEWYEAR to all my fellow shipmates!

In the picture,2nd from the left is Mickey Hogan.Mickey died on the Corry in an accident in the Sky Forward gun director while we were on a Med.Cruise in 1962.I can't put a name to the faces,but they look familiar.Third from the right is a 2nd class cook who's name I don't remember. If you can put names to these faces,it may be some of our current shipmates in the Assn., get in touch with me. Mickey's sister would appreciate the names. She sent me the picture.Hope to have the picture up soon,probably on the "Memories"page. Thanks

Gail and Wayne Owens,hosts for the Roanoke reunion Oct.,2002 will be sending additional information sometime in the next month.We have 50 rooms set aside and I recommend booking early. We will not be able to get additional rooms in August or September. Please book early and make Gail and Wayne's job easier. Also I have been hearing from shipmates that there are too few Guest Book entries. I encourage all to post a comment and liven up the site. Thanks, Jim

I served on the Corry in '77 -'78, in between ET'A' school and Nuke school, as an ET-3. Was wondering if anyone was around then, got pictures, but was lousy with names.
