Hi Brian, I sure wish I had a receiver that the USS North Carolina needed,
I would be proud to give it to them.
I haven't been on board for nearly 30 years, but I have fond
memories of the ship. I was in the 4th grade in 1961/1962 when
a group of residents started the campaign to bring her home for
display in Wilmington.
They asked all the school children in NC to donate $.10 (tem cents)
to the project, everyone that made the donation got a free pass to visit
the ship.
It must have been about 1964 or '65 before we got to go, it was fun
being able to go with my dad since he served on the USS Alabama
during WW2 and could really give a "I was there tour".

I'm looking forward to getting the chance to go back soon.

73, Ron
