New Photos added (11.02.06)- Time is something
that goes by too fast and we never have enough of. For me, it has been finding
time to make some updates to this website. This week a fire was put on my seat
in the way of 80 photos that were sent to me by Steve Franklin. I have
received more and more inquiries for information regarding USS Idaho crew members
from the BB24 and pre-WWII eras. When I saw these photos, I just about tripped
all over myself trying to get to my computer to start working on them. Thank you
Steve Fraklin for your kind gesture in sending those to me.
* USS
Idaho Crew List - Wow! It floors me how I keep getting email messages to add
another name to the Crew List of the USS Idaho. Days will go by with no one to
add to the list and then I will receive sometimes 2 to 3 in one day. The one thing
that nearly every message I receive has in common is the referral of how proud
the crew member was to have served on the Idaho. I am always excited to add another
name to the list.

Mail Call - The "Mail Call"
feature to this site is still in the works. I think this will be a good addition
to the contents of the site to post a few 'touching' messages that I have recieved
over the past few years. There are a lot of them that I am still going through
... I am hopeful to have these on here soon.

Don Seger - I still have not heard any word about Don ... if anyone knows
how he and Betty are doing, please send me an eamil - dave@ussidaho.com

Words of thanks (10.09.06)- I want to thank everyone
who has contributed to the contents of this website with photos, documents, comments,
and entries in the USS
Idaho Guestbook. I receive about 4-6 email messages a month from the friends
and family members inquiring about or providing information regarding the USS
Idaho crew members. On special occasion, I get an email directly from one of the
crew members and always feel honored and deligighted.
I will be adding
the some of the emails that I have received in past months in a new section of
the website called "MAIL CALL".
I have been going back through the messages and I think many will enjoy reading
them. One thing that has is common throughout the correspondances I have had with
them all is the crew of the USS Idaho are a special breed of men who were and
still are sincerely proud to have served their country on the USS Idaho.
