During a recent visit to the Buffalo Naval Park, QM3 Ronald Sutton donated a Quartermaster's Notebook to the USS PROVIDENCE Association for use in the memorial display case on board the LITTLE ROCK CLG-4. The notebook covers the period enroute from Sydney, Australia to Wellington, New Zealand, December 27, 1968 until we reached CONUS in Jan 1969. Pictured from left to right is LTJG Jim Koelmel, Ron Sutton's grandson Finnian, and QM3 Ron Sutton. Jim Koelmel's name appears many times during this period as the JOOD. This notebook will be available at the upcoming reunion in Washington, D.C. in May 2012.
