To All Hands, A recent group of West Coast volunteers of the USS Joseph P. Kennedy Jr and the USS Massachusetts BB59 removed material from the MARAD fleet in Suisun Bay, Benecia, CA.  These items were mainly WW2 and 1960s USN equipment and artifacts for use on our ships. Peter Papadakos, who ran the West Coast strip trip, needs some help in craning off the items still aboard ship as well as acquiring other items that DD850 needs to restore a Berthing area.  He plans to drive these items across country back to Fall River, MA. We ask that any ship association with West Coast members solicit their group to see if they can help us in September for this visit to the mothballed Navy fleet. Interested parties are asked to contact Peter Papadakos at his email QH-50@sbcglobal.net  or respond to me.  Peter will fill in all the details of the who , what , where, and when and this may be one of the last strip trips for KENENDY DD850.   Thank you for any support, Rich Angelini Asst Curator, J.P. Kennedy Jr DD850
