Walton Crew Photos 1965-1967 #12 – shared by LT Ken Sayers

OK Walton sailors, here’s the last batch of LT Sayer’s photos. Again, many thanks to Ken for sharing his photos. I hope some of you who served will recognize places you worked or relaxed on the ship from his photos. I also hope some of those who served aboard the Walton during this time will comment on the photos. Enjoy.
