    Since served aboard the Walton in 1961 and 62 why am I not listed on the crew roster . There is a photo of me standing fantail watch on this website and identified as R.O. Castain. I would appreciate a correction of this info and also the particulars of the reunion in San Diego in October of 2010.
    Thank you
    Gene O. Castain

    Hi Gene,

    I remember you well. We were on the “deck force” together. Hope this finds you well and enjoying your “golden years.”

    I must apologize; I didn’t catch the omission on the crew list and will check the site and make the necessary changes, as well as the R.O.

    We’d really enjoy seeing you in San Diego. If you click on the “Reunion” category picture at the top of the web page, it will give you all the particulars for the reunion. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. I will email you in private so my phone number is not out there on the web. ;-)

    Good to hear from you. Hope to see you again in San Diego. If you have any “sea stories” you want to share, I need all that can get and I’ll post them on the web. Also, if you are in contact with any other Walton shipmates who don’t know about our site, please sent them our link. The more the merrier.
