Plankowner Status — 30 Months After Commissioning

Name	SN	Rating	Received	Status
MESSLEY, Robert Franklin	336-95-05	CMoMM(AA)	4/14/43 (re-enlistment date)	Still aboard — made Chief
PARSON, Thomas Edward	295-54-23	MoMM1c	12/15/41 (commissioning date)	Still aboard — the last unbroken link

PARSON is the only man whose received date still reads December 15, 1941. Every other entry on the muster connects to a later date. His line is the single thread that ties this crew back to the day the boat was born.
