It appeared in the On-line Guest Book for CDR. Astleford. "Astleford Family, He was one of my better memories during my turn on the Frank Knox. I remember the Bronze Star ceremony. I do not remember the citation, but I was taken by it. He took kidding very well. Once before an inspection I said, “Mr. Astleford looks squared away”, his reply was “Mr. Astleford is always squared away”. I felt a loss when I read of his passing in the Frank Knox News. I pray his memory will warm your heart forever. Respectfully, Richard L. Neises" Atkinson, Wilton L.

Al Smith
A
The entire USS Frank Knox Reunion Association family is saddened by the passing of 92 year old Al Smith of Annapolis MD. Al died Monday, June 3, 2013. As a World War II veteran serving aboard our ship, Al missed being a "plank owner" by a mere 4 weeks. He fully enjoyed our reunions and attended many of them with his daughter Helen. He had many friends in the association and will undoubtedly be missed by all. S
