Description

Larry Fletcher, USS ORLECK sailor (1956-57) was a casualty in the war to save USS ORLECK DD 886 as a historic museum ship. Larry is from Ft. Worth, Texas and came as a volunteer to strip the USS BARRY DD 933 for the benefit of USS ORLECK DD 886 museum. It was a very successful trip and much material was obtained but in the process Larry fell and broke his hip, resulting in a need for emergency surgery and a partial hip replacement. He is in a Washington Hospital recovering and working with physical therapists. He of course is delayed in the return home and has and will incur costs over and above his insurance.
