AD31 THANKSGIVING - NOVEMBER 1951

Dec 28, 2012

To: Russ Schultz, President of USS Tidewater AD31 Assn.

I got your contact info (email) from the USS Tidewater Association website at www.UssTidewater.org. I commend you and the others for such a great tribute to the Tidewater and those who served.

My dad, who has passed away, had fond memories of serving aboard the USS Tidewater. I was cleaning out some boxes today and came across the 22 November 1951 Thanksgiving Dinner Menu for the USS Tidewater. I'm not sure, but this must have been after they completed the shakedown cruise. My dad married my mom in Charleston a few weeks later on 19 December. I've captured (took pictures) the menu cover, the page with the cooks (my dad's name is at the bottom "W. Shafovaloff"), and the food items on the menu. I've attached the files. I think it would be honoring to the USS Tidewater and its alumni crew to post the menu on your Association website.

Very respectfully,

Garry Shafovaloff
