Hi Brian,
I will be 87 years old next week.When I was 18 years old back in Dec 15 1943 I was on board the USS Quincy ca 71 for the commissioning of this brand new ship.I was on the 5 inch guns.I was on her through the FRance invasions,the president Roosevelt trip to Yalta. When we arrived back in the states ,six days later we were shipped out to engage in the Okinowa invasion and the bombardments of Japans mainland.
I'm interested in the ash tray that you have .Please send me photos of it.
