Good afternoon to the Canteen - sorry I couldn't make it last night. I only knew Tonk slightly, but he was a real good guy from what I saw of him.

68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub meets fellow Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club Vet Jim Robinson
Posted on Thursday, August 12, 2004 2:05:59 PM by 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub
Well I finally had the chance to meet and some time with Jim Robinson
And meet Shelia and their son Chris.
We met Wed about 11:30 PM PST in Bandon and had lunch.
We then went to Charleston (about 40 minutes one way) to the Coast Guard base.
This is the base that I have been going to for almost 3 years as a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The base CO came outside and Welcomed Jim, Shelia and Chris.
When I mentioned Jim was the founder of the largest conservative site on the internet he told me to make sure I sent him the url.
(E-mailed it to him today)
I then gave Jim, Shelia and Chris the base tour.
Showed them what I do on Thur and where I do it.
Showed them the radio room where I used to stand watches.
All the admin offices, mess deck, rec room etc.
Then the engineering building then the haul out bldg.
Down to the boat house itself.

Good afternoon, teenyelliot....thanks for helping remember. Prayers of peace for both Uncle Phil and his wife who has gone home. I am sure Tonk will be showing her the “ropes”.
