My dear Commander Hanson:
I was somewhat perplexed in reporting in for training duty aboard your ship
as a Civil Engineering Corp officer, but through the kindness and
understanding of yourself, your Executive Officer, officers and men the
trip was most enjoyable and educational.
Your human approach, tact and diplomacy in dealing with your officers and
men made a lasting impression on me.
With kindest personal regards.
Very sincerely yours,
/S/ WILLIAM J. BLAKELEY
