1947 Photos

Crew Photo from 1947, Courtesy of Frank Bratton.

    I am e-mailing you on behalf of Mr. Ralph F. "Frank" Bratton (he is my girlfriend's father), who served on the USS FRANCIS M. ROBINSON EDE-220 from 1947-48, when they were "unfortunately" stationed at Key West, Florida. ;)  

    Mr. Bratton is a current member of the ship's association. He does regret not being able to attend the 2000 reunion, but hopes to attend the next one in the future.

    He has really enjoyed seeing the website, especially the 1947 Xmas Menu with all the crew's names. The surnames of all the guys triggered a lot of memories for him. Hopefully my girlfriend and I will have him record some of them and will forward you some.

Sincerely,
Roy Baugher III
Roanoke, VA
