February the 25th of 2019 I posted a blog about the discovery of STRONG and all the people involved who have helped me on this journey over the years, decades even. This was a follow up from an article I wrote in 2014 that was published in April that year in the TCS publication prior to locating STRONG. Terry Miller told me he wanted a follow up, and it took a year for them to fit it into their publication schedule. Not only did they print my article, but the US Pacific Fleet Public Affairs Office also submitted an article about the discovery of STRONG and quoted me at the end! Better late than never and I'm just happy it made it to print on both counts.

I will be forever grateful that they took our cause to heart and completed this task on behalf of the STRONG, the men who served on her and the families who wanted and received some closure. There is still work to be done, but this was a big step. Thank you so much Vulcan, Inc. and the crew of the RV Petrel!!! |

Family and historical research are what float my boat, and this project has been the heart of it for a very long time now.
