How did you find this site : Accifentally
Reason for reading about the Vance : Looking for people I served with
Comments : Lt Julian Meisner sater a LtCd was my XO onboard the Uss Edward McDonnell in 74-75. I was Oil King so I worked directly under Mr. Meisner read about his passing on the web site of the Mcdonnell. He had told me about the USS Vance and gave me a book to read about Capt. Arnheiter by Neil Sheehan in 75.

Retired a year ago and started exploring the interner...

He was one of the best officers I servered under (Julian Meisner) in the Navy and the Merchant Mearines..
Can't believed he died so young...

Thanks to the rest of you guys for duty.
Julian was a big influence in my career and my life..and I'm sure you all are part of what I received serving under him years later...

Sooooo THANKS SO MUCH!!!
J W Redel
