Steve,
Re: Thomas Evans, FTG3
You mentioned that you were on board '67-'69. I was with the Army in Cam Ranh Bay from March '69- March '70 and almost had a chance to visit your ship while it was making a stop in Vung Tau. I don't remember the dates anymore, but had plans to fly down when I got word that the Knox was going to be in port. Tom was able to send a message, however, it came in late on a Friday and I was never given the message until the following Monday morning. I used to joke with Tom to keep their shots high as we were right on the shore and could hear the ships when they were firing inland. We could hear the sounds of the ships firing and then the whistling sounds as the projectiles were going overhead in towards the mountain areas just South of Na Trang.
Hope you had a nice trip to Italy. My wife went over to Milan, Revo, and Cagno about two years ago to visit relatives and had a great time.
