Letter from Nick Nickelson:

I would like to thank you for ordering my book Hooyah! UDT/SEAL Stories of the 1960’s. Also thank you for sending me a copy of your Magazine, Vol.4. The stories were enlightening. Some of the men I had heard about while others I remember, including you my friend, from my years in the Teams. I graduated Class 28 in July 1962, and was then assigned to Team12. I don’t remember if you were in UDT-12 or UDUONE at the time.

George Atcheson, John Childress III, R. E. Sallient, Leo Hammell, Bear Tracks Allen, Bill Cory are several of the 50’s Frogs that I knew or were men that influenced my life. Of course we all had heard of Fins Foley.

 

 

Editor's Notes:

1) Read my review of Nick's book UDT/SEAL Stories of the 60's

2) It was great to hear from Nick. I must congratulate him for providing great stories of the 60’s. Perhaps it will provide inspiration to some other frogs to tackle the 70’s, 80’s, etc.

3) No museum muster XIX. Muster has been postponed until repairs have been made. Damages to museum, hotel, restaurants, hospitality room and infrastructure as result of the two hurricanes, Frances and Jeanne, are too much to overcome. The local area has been declared a disaster area. Hutchinson Island is a wreck. The staff will be working to make the next muster one of the best yet. Please help restore the museum. Repairs and improvements are underway. After all it is our national shrine for all Frogman! Help in anyway you can!
Thanks, Don B.
