1. GEORGE F. MILLS-- Of Pensacola, Florida, 1920-2012, died Dec. 26th. Born Sioux City, Iowa, grew up in California. Joined Navy in 1938 and was at Pearl Harbor (but I did not find out where). Then fought in the Pacific, Aleutian Islands and Philippines, making chief by the end of the war.
2. LST-325-- Set sail Jan. 7th for Port Arthur, Texas, for six weeks in drydock, something it does every ten years. So don't expect to see it at its home port in Evansville, Indiana, on the Ohio River until some time in March.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
