| Commanding Officer's Letter,
ca. November 1966 |
||
| A letter from LCDR William M. Kelly, Jr. to
each crewmember's home. Apparently he thought we weren't writing
home as often as we should. It offers some interesting insights
into the workings of the ship. (Courtesy of Rick Hollis) |

| Dutton General Information, ca. early 1969 | ||
| An informational letter sent by the CO of
OcUnit 2 in early 1969 to prospective crewmembers. All the info
contained in this letter was equally appropriate for OcUnit 1 back to
1966. The letter is unsigned, but LCDR Wayne N.
Rauch was OcUnit 2 CO during this period. The original was a
barely legible mimeograph, transcribed by Ron Walker for this
presentation. See Ron's comments
here. (Courtesy of Ron Walker) |
