See if you can identify all the SS members in the photo. We got a ride on the DUKW around the LST-325. Lots of fun and great to see the fellow SS members. I will give you a hint. I am in the back of the boat/truck and my son is next to me. There are at least two other members in the DUKW.

Looks like you, me, Crusher, and your son(yeah, I forgot his name again). There is also 2 folks that rode in Crusher's truck for the convoy to the river that should soon be members.

Here's some more. Went out on the LST and caught Tom's LVT in the water. Very cool tour of the ship. Got to meet some people and see some cool trucks. Be great when they come back to Dayton in 2011.

A six-wheel drive Willys? Was that a prototype or a custom job by the owner?

The DUKW ride was great. I would like to send out a special thanks to the gracious owner - Roger Hershberger from Iowa, if he is out there listening . . . . .

I didn't take as many as I usually do. Something about the heat just puts me out of the mood.

We want to see the boys who were man enough to get a parachute in the air

The reason one of those boys got airbourne, is cause he is the size of a troll doll. I don't have the pics, they are on Ralph's camera! TODD HALEY, calling Todd Haley! We need pics man!

I personally saw them working at it and shouted encouragement from the side lines...

Those are some manley men.

Especially considering that they were running uphill AND with the wind at their backs ! ! !
