First Addition of
"The Walker Talker"
June 1945
| I would like to
express my appreciation and gratitude for all the work John Nail has done to share with us
this special information sent to him from Donald Gray. I am sure that I speak for the crew
of the Walker and their families as well. Thank you from all of us John for this special
treat. Tom ( Walker's Keeper ) Tom, Below is a partial retyping of the First issue of the Walker Talker – June 1945. Donald Gray sent it to me. It was in deteriorating condition. Some of it was hard to read. I made copies of it and was going to scan it and sent but was not happy with the quality. So, I am typing it over and trying my best to keep consistent with the original. There were several typo errors in the original, which I have corrected, thanks to "spell check". I will send the rest of the paper as I finish it, but thought I would send what I have. Hopefully I will be completely finished by the end of July. If you have any suggestions please let me know. Don also had a copy of the Thanksgiving meal for Nov
30 1944. Thanksgiving Dinner |
