IMPORTANT INFORMATION We do not have personal records of those who served aboard our ship. If you wish to contact shipmates who might have known the crew member in whom you are interested, please send your name and address or phone number and the name of the crew member and any information you have about them to LesPierce1@charter.net. Our editors, Les & Mary Jo Pierce, will include your request in the next issue of our publication, The Colorado Lookout, which is sent to over 600 members. Our members can then contact you if they knew the person. 80% of our shipmate members do not use email so your address or phone number is important so they can contact you.
