Transcript

MOBILE REGISTER February 3, 2001 Ed Goerling, middle, received a guided tour of the LST-325 from fellow Navy veterans Ed Mumford, left, and Bob Rudy. Veteran makes special journey to see LST-325 Ed Goerling lives in Napre- ville, 111. He lives with his wife in a condo where a continental breakfast is served every morning. Since the story ol LST-325 first started, he has been commenting to his friends at breakfast how great it would be if he could be on that voyage. Naturally, he couldn't be on the voyage, but the thought of the trip took him back to his four years on LST-1158. You sec Ed is 71 years old and his thoughts followed the trip of the 325 all the way. Then one of the ladies at the condo felt that Ed should be in Mobile to see the ship, so she gave him an envelope with tSOO in it and said, go! Apparently, the weather was such that Ed could not get away until alter the 325 had already arrived. Ed caught a flight to Mobile and got a motel room in Saraland. Then Ed walked a couple of miles to see the ship, which was now docked in Chickasaw. We had a great visit and gave Ed a tour of the 325, which thrilled him immensely This kind of story is repeated day after day as veterans from all service* hear about and come to visit LST-325. Many, man; ans. not just Navy veten the opportunity to ride on an LST at some time during their service. ED MUMFORD Fairhope 105
