» Topic: PT 467 RON 31 LT Joe Kernell
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=5095

All;
I have been in contact with Joe Kernell’s family, and am providing photos, docs, and info on Joe for his Greatgranddaughter who is doing a research internship on Joe and PT Boats.
Joe was a RON 3(2) original, he was XO then later CO of PT 61, later in the war he followed Jack Searles and became a Plankowner of RON 31 and CO of PT 467. Thanks to Charlie, I have discovered a few RON3(2) originals also joined Jack, Nic Nikoloric (CO PT 37)was RON 31 XO, also Aaron White(XO PT 111, RON 5,2,3(2).) was CO of PT 464 and Charlie Tufts(formerly CBM, RON 2 pre-war, RON 2, RON 3(2).) took a commission and was CO of PT 454.

Does anyone have a photo of PT 467 or a crew photo?

Here is where I say, I miss Will Day, because I know he would have a copy of one or both. Miss you Will!

Take care,
TED
