We have been informed that Claude Blackwell's wife Helen
passed away in March and that Claude will be undergoing surgery
for cancer. He helped a great deal with our first reunions, 2000 & 2001 with
his knowledge of contacted ship crew and reunion experience. The award
from the Association for his efforts was well deserved. Expressions of sympathy and
well wishes may be sent to, 1828 Burwillow Dr. Virginia Beach, VA 23464.
