I am a military reseacher looking for any shipmates that knew John Dell Rice who passed away during the 1972 cruise. Paperwork is being compiled to get his name added to the Vietnam Memorial Wall, and I need some missing information. Pls email me with John Dell Rice in the subject line.

Bruce, I remember that. Was on that cruise in 72. I was a messcook in the CPO Mess, can't remember if I was still in the Mess. But I know we pulled into Da Nang harbor so the Navy could transport his remains home.
Can't remember the date...just remember it happening.

Jim

Bruce,
If you look at the "reprint" of the 72 cruise book on this site, youll find the date and a full page portrait if I remember correctly.
