Since the report which appeared in the February issue, with appropriate credits, we have heard from the following who contributed additional information, and to whom we extend our sincere thanks at this time: Rene Beauchamp, Ken Davis, Al Jackson, Ron Konkol, David Nolan, Carmen Paris and Jimmy Sprunt. Did we not run a lay-up list for your local port, or was our list incom­ plete? Then SHAME ON YOU, because YOU didn't respond to our request for in­ formation! Perhaps next year you'll join the growing list of active contri­ butors who don't just wait for T. M. H. S. to do something for them, but in­ stead do something for T. M. H. S. * * * * * Were you hoping to read more in this issue about LEMOYNE (Ship of the Month No. 253)? Sorry, but we're out of space this month. But please watch for a follow-up in the April issue.
