Hi Dom and all you who was lucky to make the reunion. I wanted to and would have but my spine has giving out on me and I unable to walk. Since Joan passed my son came up to Detroit and got me. He said dad get the heck out while your still alive and move down to Mc Andrews KY with him. There is not a day goes by I don't think of the Wisconsin, that's all I have to do now, slide out of bed into my wheel chair, and go to the computer. I go to the Huntington VA and they do take good care of me, they send 3 nurses a week to take care of me. Hope before the month is out The VA is going to be putting a Pain Pump in my spine. You all take care of the ship and if any you would like to drop me a line I am 24/7, you all keep a good wind to your back. Don Lecik EO-1 7th Div.

Comments from Dom: Hi Don, sorry to hear of your medical problems. When I spoke to you a few weeks ago you sounded a little down but your spirits were high. I hope some of your shipmates read this entry and contact you.
