I served on the Isbell from 1970 to 1973 and my name is not on the crew list. How do I rectify that? Would love to get in touch with some of my shipmates.
Thanks

To get on the crews list here go to the guest book and copy this comment in there and Dan will review it and add you to the crews list, or if you send me your information I would be glad to forward it to Dan for you after I update my list for the reunions.
