Chuck: Sounds like you served aboard USS ORLECK. That fact alone makes you a member of our Association for life. I am sending you a request for information that we need to get you on the roster. Glad to hear from you. I took the liberty to change the status you checked as not being a member to being a member. Good to hear from you. Hope some you served with respond to you. Also you might be interested in our upcoming reunion. Go over to the "Reunion Info" for the details of our upcoming June reunion.

Larry, you need to come to the reunion and get with the rest of us old farts, would like to see you and talk about old times on board the Orleck. Our Reunions are always good and I think this is going to be the BEST yet.

Hi Walter: I enjoyed reading your post. I did notice that you indicated that you were not a member of our Association. I have news for you. You are! You see the DESTROYER USS ORLECK ASSOCIATION was formed to honor those men who served aboard the USS ORLECK in defense of the greatest country on the planet earth. By doing so your name is forever included as a member of our Association. And we are proud to have you! If you look on the Roster (type in your last name) you will see that we have you listed. But we lost track of you and the address we have on you is wrong. Would you please look at all the information provided there, then send me an e-mail at bob@ussorleck.com and I will update. I did go in and update your e-mail address.
One other thing. Since we had lost track of you, any mailing we did to you came back undeliverable and when that happened I stopped mailing to you. So you have missed seeing about the reunions and especially the one coming up on Northern Kentucky in June, 2012. Please go to the menu on the right of the page and check out the reunion section. And we would love to see you there. We have 142 registered so far and we are still over 5 months away from the reunion. Since you did not get notice of the reunion I would even extend the early registration price to you for a short while to give you time to consider coming.
In any event, please contact me and give me update information so I can post it.
Regards
Bob Orleck

It has been a while since I have been here and it brought a lot of memories. Wondering if anyone knows about Chief Wilson, seaman "radar" freeman ( I never knew his first name), Capt. Jackson a very good man and xo Jewel he was actually a good friend. It was very hard for me to adapt being the first time away from home, I actually had more fun in the seabees and roanoke aor-7 but the orleck is the one I remember the most.

Hi Bob.
Russ Frye Here.When my wife Pauline passed away 4 yrs ago I posted on the guest book and within 24hrs many sailers wrote back to offer their condolences.That was a super comfort to me at that time.I write on the forum in as i remember it.The guest book makes it fast and personal.I highly recommend we keep the guestbook as it serves a lot o people that other wise we would not hear from or about.No searching or hunting for information that desires to be seen without navigating a maze.Many Orleck sailors depend on their wives to write and respond.I hope this info shows a real need to many to see happenings on a daily occurences if necessary.Best luck to all of the group.

Russell:
What a pleasure to hear from you. I have thought of you a couple of times recently and was hoping to see a reunion application come for you. After reading your post I have no intentions to remove the guestbook from service at this time. If someday it looks to be unused and unnessary then we can reconsider. But for now, your point is well made and that will end the matter.
Glad to hear from you. I miss the days when your whole family was there to enjoy our reunions. We are experience this sadness with so many others. But we will go on as long as people can come.
Regards
Bob
