Losing a friend is so hard!

RIP Francesco

Thanks again, Brian!

Thank you so very much, Brian! Unfortunately, I no longer make updates on my site, I’ll see what I can do though. While I have you here, I’ve notified uboatnet several times about a possible error on the fate of Octavian. Please see my page about this ship for an explanation; that text was written o...

Sid, I just wanted to let you know that I’m a “she”, just a little old housewife with a somewhat unusual hobby. My website came about way back in the ‘90’s because my daughter wanted to know what her grandfather (my father) did during the war. I felt I owed it to my children to find out. It was my s...

Oh, those gremlins! So sorry you’ve been having issues with the forum, hopefully it’s all sorted now. Please do let me know if there are any problems in the future.

And the same to you and everybody! Hopefully, this year will be the year everything will get back to «normal».

My grandson (now 15, can you believe it?) has had COVID for the past week. So far, the rest of us have escaped. Fingers crossed!

Phil, please let me know if you see this message.

Phil, I apologize for the technical problems on the phone. Here is a link to the letter in question on my website (I believe this is the one you were referring to?): http://warsailors.com/norships/kvarstad.jpg It’s in the section of my website under the heading “Kvarstad ships and men” Thank you for...

That works - thanks so much! I realized later, I could probably have just googled it too, and saved you the trouble. I just wasn’t thinking.

Platon, I’d love to read about this, but the link goes to a 404 page; am I the only one?

I’ve noticed that too, Phil. Still, I myself am busy every day deleting spam attempts, up to 80 a day.

Thank you so, so much, Phil, for thinking about us!

We have been extremely fortunate, have kept electricity throughout (unlike so many others in Houston), and are doing well.

Thank you, and the same to all of you! 2020 was extremely rough, but in the middle of it all I continue to consider myself and my family among the most fortunate ones. Here’s hoping 2021 will be a better one for the world, and for this United States of America (though we’re off to a miserable start,...

Thank you both for taking the time to respond!

Marty, how very peculiar that you had that problem. I’ll run it by my “guy in Scotland” and see what he says.

Also, I’ve sent you both a test private message.

Hi everyone! I was wondering, are any of you using the private messages feature and if so, is it working properly for you? I’m asking because I’ve sent a couple, without receiving a response, which has made me a little suspicious. I’m hoping it’s only a coincidence. But if indeed there is a problem ...
