Below find a list of former sailors  on the LST 1138 that has been offered by Mr. Joe Lewin who is now
living in Evansville Indiana. He has developed a new career as the cook for the LST 325 for their various
functions performed for the city and when the ship is exercised  and taken to other ports on the rivers
in this area. This guy is one of the many who now have turned the LST 325 into a source of revenue for
the City. Some day I hope to meet the rest of the crew`and congratulate them. Well anyway on to a list of
some of the men we have been able to track down.

In no special order we have found the following ex crew member names.

Joe Lewin, Harold Muncrief, Thomas Greer, Gerold Thompson. John Sanborn, Paul R
