Gone the sun,
From the lakes,
From the hills
From the sky
All is well,
Safely rest,
God is nigh.

For my
article in this newsletter, I would like to share a letter with you from one of our shipmates.
Chaplain Marvin Watson
RM3 1960-63
3149 Sequoia Drive
Lincoln, Nebraska 68516
(402) 421-8957
chaplain@usswhetstone.net
To my shipmates:
I have been very blessed in my life. The fond memories of my time served on the Whetstone LSD 27 (1955-59) have been on my mind a lot lately. Those were good old days. I was so happy to have found and/or seen some of you in the last couple years.
I thank you for your prayers and special thought at this most difficult time. I am now facing the most difficult battle of my life. I have Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma (brain cancer). Prayer has always been an important part of my life but now I only ask for God to send me his best warrior angels to help me in this battle. I trust God and know he is with me always. If and when I go on to be with my Saviour, please know that you will not be forgotten and I do hope to see all my friends, my wife, Patty, daughters Jill, Ginger and Jenifer and our 8 grandchildren on the other side.
Thank you again for your thoughts and prayers.
Kenneth L. Brown IC-2 (1955-59)
