Comments: My father Richard "Dick" Burris was on the ship in the 60's. Reading the message board, his name was mentioned as an XO. I was young at the time but remember those long WestPac's! Also, Bill Springs and Capt. Smith were guests at our house often. My father passed away in 1995 but I have fond memories of his ship stories. He was a true Navy man!

I served aboard the USS Tom Green County, LST 1159 back in the early 60's.
Last year our ship had a reunion aboard the USS Washtenaw County LST 1166 which is alive and well on the Columbia River near Portland Oregon.
If any old LST sailors would like to have a reunion aboard the 1166 just give me a shout!
Jim.
