Comment: It was an honor to serve on a great ship with so much history through out her decks and know also that I had walked where so many heroes had walked and many had lost their lives protecting me and my country. This was the last WESPAC Cruise and the end of a very proud era for the Lady Lex and I am proud to have been a part of that history also. My wife Shirley and I visited the Lex, May 6, 2011 and am planning to visit once again on the 50th anniversary, May 12, 2012, of her return to San Diego which was may 12, 1962 at 0928. I will be on her flight in 2012 as I was in 1962.
