Hello Shipmates,
Requests
for USS Henry W. Tucker Cruise Books have picked up slightly. Since the last
newsletter I’ve received enough requests for the, 1955, 1956 -'57, 19=
59,
1968 -'69 1969 -'70 and the 1971 Cruise Books to have them professionally s=
canned. To see images of the covers =
of the
cruise books, please click here.
Each book consists o=
f two
CD’s. The first is a pdf file while the second are jpg files. They are
enclosed in a jewel case and adorned with the books cover on the front.
The following Cruise=
Books
are now available on CD’s
1953 1956=
1959 &=

-' 69 &n=
bsp; 1971
1955 1956 -'57 1963 -'66 &=
nbsp; 1969
-' 70
[These CD’s are only available to former
shipmates or their families]
When sufficient requ=
ests are
received for the remaining books I’ll have them professionally scanned
and made available.
This is not a busine=
ss for
me. It is in fact a method of preserving some of our history while making t=
hese
books available to others who for whatever reason do not enjoy a book of th=
eir
own. Your donation gives me the financial ability to continue this practice=
.
I ask for a donation=
of $20.00 or more per book. However =
when I
originally started this project I was unaware there were Cruise Books with =
far
more pages. Although shipping and handling remains the same, the cost of ha=
ving
these book scanned were three times greater than previous books scanned. The
1968 –’69 and 1969 are two such books. Therefore I ask for a
donation of $30.00 or more for=
these
CD’s. Similar CD’s sell on E-Bay for over $40, however, they
don’t have Tucker Cruise Books. Coupled with the fact that most shipm=
ates
sent me donations of $30.00 or more for books with far fewer pages I feel t=
his
is a reasonable request.
USS Henry W. Tucker =
had a
total of 12 Cruise Books they range from 1953 to 1973 and are as follows.
