Greetings from a Daughter of Richard O Howell who served on the Walke My father was proud of the Walke it was tatooed on his arm. PS Richard has 5 sons and 2 daughters.

Darrell Thode- My father Ellsworth Gordon Kenzslowe, Jr aka "Skip" was on the 66-67 cruise with you. I am wondering if you knew him and if you have any stories or photos you can share. He passed in '77. Thank you! Angela Kenzslowe Scott ascott777@cox.net

Hello: My late father Ellsworth Gordon Kenzslowe, Jr was on the USS Walke from 66-67. I wanted to know if someone has the cruise book from then? Or perhaps photos? I was born in 1971 and he passed away in 1977. I would love to communicate with anyone that knew him in which I can learn about him. Thanks! Angela ascott777@cox.net
