USS Drum
When Jan and I were in Gulf Shores, AL. this past April, Pete
Rathmell and I went to a meeting of the Drum Base. Their meeting takes place at
the USS Alabama Memorial site in Mobile, AL, (check ussvi.org for more info).
Tom has put a hell of a lot of work into fixing up the Drum. I know that he is
assisted by a young women - and unfortunately, I don't recall her name.
Together, they have made the USS Drum a destination. The interior of the boat
is in great condition. The exterior requires a lot of work, and
that is where the emphasis is now. Tom has discovered a potential way
to complete his goals of bringing the USS Drum back to her former glory.
Let us all help this project in any way that we can.
MOBILE-Thomas Bowser, the man tasked with restoring the U.S.S. Drum
at Battleship Park
Bowser signed copies of his book
“The Three Lives of the U.S.S. Drum” on Sunday.
Bowser believes that preserving
history of submarines while sharing the story about the crew’s challenges makes
a unique story worthy of a book.
“I did a lot of the work before
just to put it out for visitors to see and November I decided to turn it into a
book and compile it all together,” says Bowser.
Bowser’s book will be available at
the Battleship’s gift shop and on Amazon.com.

USS Sea Fox Reunion 2013
Well troops, since it is a rainy day I finally
figured out how to get a BUNCH of photos uploaded to our new photo storage
site.
Check the link below and it should take you to
the 2013 reunion photos submitted by Ron Hnatovic.
Now that I’ve figured it out, I’ll be making a
folder of photos received from Bill Norfleet.
Sorry for the extended delay. The mind
just functions a little slower than in the past.
I have no idea who all these people are, some I
know but some I don’t. If you can
identify anyone in photos, let me know and I’ll
do my best to get names posted on the photos. 
All the best.

Sea Fox and Reunion Photos
Received from George Arnold 6/5/2013
Below are two links for photos that have been
posted. This is a new program for me and I’m still getting the hang of
it.
I have many more reunion photos to post, but
need to get more practice with this thing. I’ll end up getting the
majority
of the photos posted in time.
Our reunion photos were taken by Ron Hnatovic
and Dale Gumbert and we are indeed grateful to them.
Be patient as I continue to get things in line!
If I post reunion photos with no names, please let me know
If I post reunion photos with no names, please let me know
the photo as well as they name that I should
have on them. Or, if you see a mistake, let me know that also.
I’m working mainly on the 2013 reunion photos at
this time and I have a BUNCH of them yet to upload to the site.
