With all the notes going back and forth the last few days regarding the days
aboard the Pillbury I was "forced" to start looking in the memory chest for
help with recalling some of the items in the conversation. I came across
the original Commissioning Program for the re-commissioning of the
Pillsbury, as well as the letter awarding the Battle Efficiency Plaque in
July 1956. It's hard to believe that the Pillsbury was recommissioned some
51+ years ago and most of us are still here to talk about it.

Stay well, and stay out of the rip tides.........
