We are a non-profit, historical and educational organization dedicated to promoting fraternal, civic, patriotic and historical memories of those who served aboard.
We publish a free newsletter " The Rolling Stone" quarterly and have a reunion every other year. Currently the next reunion is scheduled for September 13,14,& 15th in Biloxi MS.
Membership dues ($10 YR.) are voluntary and help defray the expenses of the newsletter, phone searches for shipmates and reunion preparations. Currently we are 500 members and growing.
We request all former shipmates to contact us even if not interested in associating. This will save us countless hours searching.
If you are or know of a former Whetstone Shipmate, please e-mail Don"Baby Huey" Hulen (SFP3 in 63) at donhulen@io.com or call me at 281-471-0224 or write me at 302 South Oak, LaPorte, TX 77571
I can also send you a copy of our membership free. The Association also has copies of several cruise books and daily shipboard diaries for sale.
