?, Rick Hinckley, Jack Gissner
Part of e-mail to John McCabe
My dad went by the name "Rick" Hinckley (from Los Angeles) and he worked in the
engine room. My wife helped me locate his photographs from the shakedown cruise.
They are mostly of the Panama Canal. I am planning to put all of the photos together
into an album that I will send to Joseph Betters for display at the upcoming reunion.
Maybe I can scan some and post them to the website. If I need help doing that
I can contact Joe.
This picture shows my dad (center, w/long sleeves). Sorry that you can't see his face.
I will try and get some of his pictures posted on the web site and maybe you will
remember him!
Thanks again for writing to me, John. In this way, and with your help, I can still
share in my fathers legacy.
Yours Truly,
