I'm not sure how to post photos here so I guess I have to do this the hard way. These are of my dad's meal he had on board the Attack Carrier USS Lake Champlain off Korea. He checked off all the stuff he ate that day.

Al, may I ask where you picked up the West menu? Would you consider a sale or trade for it? My father-in-law, Vern Dishnow is listed as the 3rd Mate. Ken Niemi at reissrecollections at hotmail dot com

A salute to the good old days of steamboating with Thanksgiving Day menus from the Charles C. West in 1942 and the Edward S. Kendrick in 1956.
