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 am know 59 years of age and was reminising of my years served aboard the tiger when to my disappointment didn't see my name on the Tiger's roster from 1965-68 checking the roster I saw a lot of my ship-mates and not my name. I checked the web site from 1965-1968 and to my disappointment my name was not on the roster. Why????????? not. Please any of my shipmates that read this try and contact me. |

Ahoy mates, 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. |
