I received this great Email from Frank
"Bugsy" Moran from the restored cg40450/cg40581.
I'm sending you this
because I know you will love it. I met this man's son Joe JR. in the
doctors office when I was reading my CG manual for the cg40450. He sit
next to me and then said were you in the CG? I
said yes, why? I see that
book your reading and it looks old and official. So it went on "low and
behold" his father served in World War 11 on the 83324/cg474 in the
Pacific theater, like Bataan, Leyte and all around there. Read the history of Joseph E. Mutascio,
Sr. aboard the 83324.
These images are are from
a large mural at the Museum of History and Industry, Seattle, Wa.
from the 1950's. They might help with some flashbacks of the Ballard
Locks and the CG District headquarters, Seattle.
