Read about Dan's initial impression here . The Vietnam Veterans of America are putting on a benefit in June for our shipmate Ron Empfield, who is suffering from terminal Mesothelioma. Ron was a Vietnam era veteran aboard the DeHaven from 1965 through 1969. Please have a look at our benefit page . In addition, you'll get a sneak peak at the new look coming to the DeHaven website.
Comments are welcome.
This is a serious disease. Another of our shipmates, a 469'er, Al Breining has also been diagnosed. We have lost another shipmate. He was a storekeeper in 1953 and 54. He had a stroke and a stay in a nursing home a few years back, but this was something.
