USNS BARRETT (T-AP 196)
TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE MAST
This site has been created and is maintained by Jon L. Gateley, a Military Department crewmember (YN2) from March 15, 1955 to near the end of March 1956. Here's a list of my websites, or places where I have posted photo albums, that you can get to directly without going through a link: http://www.gateleyfamily.com http://www.gateleyrealty.com http://homepage.mac.com/jonsan http://www.classmates.com To find me and my photo albums on classmates, search for me by name under California or use the link below. Classmates is, once again, allowing even "basic" members to view the photo albums. Miami Beach Fire Department:http://tinyurl.com/6s86w Augustana Hospital School of Nursing: http://tinyurl.com/6ojs3 Page 10 is the LINKS page that has all of these sites and more. It will take you to these places with just a simple click. I think all the links are working but if you find one that is not, please let me know so I can fix it. Thanks. BIOGRAPHY: I posted a little time-line biography on my page called the "Money Page". NEEDED: Some plan for succession when and if the beloved Webmaster receives his orders to report to that Great Navy in the Sky. It could happen suddenly and without warning. I keep the site paid up for two or three years in advance but I have absolutely nobody, at this time, who could even access it. I'm thinking. If you have any ideas, pass them on. This page last tinkered with: 6 FEB 09.	This website is mostly my twelve months' experience and time on the Barrett but it will also ultimately include history and facts on the ship as well as the crew. I will expand it from time to time as my time, ability and energy allows. There will be twenty pages. If all goes well this site will allow for input from others who knew and loved the Barrett. Changes will also come in format and content as I get better at it. I have discovered that the graphics ability of this site is quite limited but there are some photos and information on www.classmates.com. On the link page click on Barrett Photo Album. Now (AUG 06) see http://www.flickr.com/photos/jonsan for better and more recent photos. On my "LINKS" page there is a link to it. Links to all twenty pages are now at the upper left of each page. I have also created a "links" page that provides quick and easy links to a lot of other sites. This site is hosted on register.com. It can be converted to a "real" website if and when I get ready to do it. It only takes mostly money. 28 NOV 06: I don't maintain this site or any other site for my personal aggrandizement. Nothing that I have posted or written is copyrighted or reserved in any way by me. This material belongs to history, not to me. ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF ANY AUTHORITY VESTED IN ME I GRANT PERMISSION TO EVERYONE to use any of it anywhere, anytime you please. If you want to acknowledge me in anyway, I will be grateful. If you don't, I won't mind that either. The only part of my ego that is involved in what I do is trying to do a good job. I post this information and material only to try to preserve the memories of those great but bygone times and, perhaps, to reunite some people from that era. Nor do I make any money or even seek to do so from my activities. Feel free to post any links anywhere to any of my material with my blessing. If you would like to see any changes in anything, just let me know. I try to live my life in such a way that people will be grateful that I was here. If you spot any "typos", grammatical errors, or sentences or statements that don't make a lot of sense, please let me know. I would like to correct them.
