This html article is produced from an uncorrected text file through optical character recognition. Prior to 1940 articles all text has been corrected, but from 1940 to the present most still remain uncorrected. Artifacts of the scans are misspellings, out-of-context footnotes and sidebars, and other inconsistencies. Adjacent to each text file is a PDF of the article, which accurately and fully conveys the content as it appeared in the issue. The uncorrected text files have been included to enhance the searchability of our content, on our site and in search engines, for our membership, the research community and media organizations. We are working now to provide clean text files for the entire collection.
NOTEBOOK POLICY: Please submit notices five months in advance of your reunion. Reunions with specific dates will be given preference. Notices will be published only once and as space Permits. Pass-Down-The-Line notices j*re published on a space-available basis, and non-members are charged $35.00 per notice. There is no fee for reunion notices.

Pass-Down-The-Line Notes_______
Seeking The CO of the submarine whose torpedo dove into the mud of the Pearl Harbor testing range in 1944 or 1945. The
torpedo surfaced one morning and it woke me as it bobbed against the hull of the USS David W. Taylor (DD-551). It was retrieved and returned to you. After bestowing a forgiving kiss on your errant torpedo, you tore up a multi-paged “Lost Torpedo Report,” and promised me and the boat crew a “fatted-calf ’ dinner at the Royal Hawaiian. Unfortunately my ship returned to the South Pacific that afternoon; so you gave us a verbal IOU. We are ready to collect. Location and date are negotiable. Contact: Capt.
