A note from our Historian, George Blust
MacDonald was the deputy commander of the US Support Force, not ship's captain.
Looks like a publishing error in the "Feels Warmer" article.
A.B. Stanley, E.F. Scullion, Larry Hansen, H.C. Penny, J.R. Lamb, Laurie Cooper are mentioned in these articles.

part of a letter from Tere

Some young faces here from 61 (This is a May 2023 post) years ago. Boot camp- HMNZS Tamaki, May 1962. I'm back row 3rd from right. Ok, didn't read your previously mail properly, that was our class, seamanship, which broke down at part 2 training to Sonor, Radar and Gunnery. There were also classes of a similar size for Cooks, Stewards, Storemen and Comms. The engine room and steamies were also there.
