USS Worcester Deck Planking

As most of you know, the US Navy Depot in Washington, DC sent us a pallet of deck planking from the USS Worcester when she was broken up. At our general meeting, September 21, 2008 the membership voted to make one 8 inch piece of deck plank available to any member of the association in good standing who wanted one (interested shipmates must be current with their dues).

The shipmate can submit his request and shipping monies to Jack Tacinelli ((845) 876-4403 or jtacin1043 at aol.com). The charge will be the cost of shipping to you and is currently $5.20. Some of the deck planks will be brought to the 2012 reunion in Virginia Beach. This may be your last opportunity to obtain a piece of Worcester history.
