5 July 1955 Commander Ralph M. Hanson McCoy Reynolds (DE 440) Local Guard Mail My dear Commander Hanson: I was somewhat perplexed in reporting in for training duty aboard your ship as a Civil Engineering Corp officer, but through the kindness and understanding of yourself, your Executive Officer, officers and men the trip was most enjoyable and educational. Your human approach, tact and diplomacy in dealing with your officers and men made a lasting impression on me. With kindest personal regards. Very sincerely yours, /S/ WILLIAM J. BLAKELEY Copy to: COMMANDER NAVAL FORCES MARIANAS COMMANDER SERVICE DIVISION FIFTY-ONE COMMANDER SCOUT SQUADRON # 1
