| Comments: | I have been looking off and on for several years for information on YMS-477. Just recently I typed YMS-477 in my browser and to my surprise, up came two pictures of the ship and one of the crew. My daddy is right there in the front row, shirtless, 2nd from left with his right arm resting on the chain. A man in a white shirt is immediately to his left. My father served on this little ship during 1944 and 1945 If anyone of you out there served on the YMS-477 I would appreciate hearing from you. I would like to know where YMS-477 went, what battles (if any) that it supported. My daddy died back in 1984 of lung cancer and I'm really sorry that I never asked him about his WWII service. He never talked about it anyway except sometimes about going on liberty with some of his friends. My fathers name was Glen Lee Hunt, Ser. No. 938-90-14 and he was from San Antonio, Texas.
Thanks to all of you for your service. Glen L. Hunt, Jr. 3833 Horizon Dr. Bedford, Texas 76021 817-691-5183 |

| Comments: | Be careful what you say on yahoo because they will close your account. I don't know what was said but they shut me down. So my new address is above. Went to bed Thursday evening and Friday AM, address was closed down. They will not give me a reason other than "system violation." Maybe because I called Al Gore a Global Warming fool in a note to a story by line. Yahoo is owned by some extremely liberal democrats.
You all take care, Spring has sprung in the high county and Alaska is but a 5-7 day drive away depending on how many times I stop to fish en route and to play touristo. Phil |

| Comments: | I was the Detachment SK at MOMAG Det. FOUR from March 1984 to Sept. 1987. Mineman are a different breed, that's for sure. I learned so many new things about people and teamwork from my years at Glen Douglas, Scotland. I stay in touch with Jim Collins, and just talked to Jamie Bouza for the first time in 20+ years. Would love to catch up with some of the old crew if ever I can. Ken Harder, John Coerrs, and Gary Williams were my OIC's. My first MNCS's name escapes me, but John Nolen and Ken Warringa were the others. If anyone knows were David "Sammy" Houston is, tell him I'm in the Pittbsurgh phonebook. It was a pleasure and honor serving with Minemen.

| Comments: | Found a interesting site for history buffs. Go to "Google" search and put in "us naval activities WW2 by state" click search. When the page comes up, go to the bottom of the page and click on the state abbreviation.
The results on yahoo search leave lots to be desired so use Google. One interesting thing, seems the first US Naval School of Mine Warfare was in Portsmouth VA. Fair winds and following seas to all. Take care, God Bless, |

| Comments: | Update on Ted Cammack:
I've been trying to find Ted for a few years now and it seems he's gotten into some trouble. Ted was sentenced to Bradshaw State Jail in Texas last NOV and will be there a long time. His address is: Ted Cammack TDCJ# 01542338 Bradshaw State Jail PO Box 9000 Hendersonville, TX, 75653-9000 There are rules concerning letters but anything written on plain white paper in a plain white envelope should pass. He is one of many "old" mineman who would give you the shirt off his back, no questions asked. He had a pretty rough last tour. I know Ted has a lot of friends out there and he was/is an outstanding Mineman, Sailor, and Friend. I hope everybody else out there is doing good! V/R MNC(SW)(RET) Jeff jeffrey.l.holt@navy.mil |
