02/14/25 -Received word from Jim Daly about his father. John R. (Jack) Daly passed on February 10, 2025.  My father served in the Navy for four years, with his final year spent aboard the Mullinnix as a radar operator; this would have been about 1958-1959.  Dad attended some of the earliest Mullinnix reunions: 1999, 2000 and 2002.  He's pictured in group photos from all three years on the Mux website.  My father had a wonderful time at each of those reunions.  I want to thank the organizers for arranging these annual events that are always filled with nostalgia and good cheer.  Hopefully, they'll continue well into the future.

02/2/25 - Frank C. Gatto passed away January 16, 2025. I (Chuck Kay) was friends with Frank on Facebook. His daughter posted the notice. Frank and I were in the same Radarman "A" school class at Great Lakes in the spring of 1969. He got his orders to the Mux at the end of school. He may have joined the crew during the 1969 Wespac cruise. I came on board January 1970. I was surprised and glad Frank was on board. We served together for 21 months. We both were RD2s. We were good friends. I will miss him. Paul Lentini was in the Radar gang at the same time.

This picture was taken July 4, 1970 at Valletta Malta. I'm on the right, frank is in the middle and Jack Warburton is on the left. My most favorite Navy picture.

02/1/25 - We received word from Russ Fawkes that Bruce Berm passed away April 4, 2013. He served aboard the Mullinnix at the same time as Russ. Bruce usually went by the nickname "Butch" - I guess because he was a "junior."  He served on the Mullinnix during the 1966 Westpac cruise as a Radioman.
