FROM THE WEBMASTER . . .
- I have chronicled everything I know about SANCTUARY on this WEB site; please read on and search the content.
- This hobby WEB site will be updated whenever I receive remarkable new/amended Sanctuary history details or as time permits (I DO have a life with many interests and activities!)
- SEARCH HINTS:
- Open the SANCTUARY COMMS Board , where you can:
- search messages posted by former patients and shipmates since 1997,
- post your message to contact shipmates,
- search all Sanctuary WEB pages for a name, term or word.
- TIP - Use keys Ctrl+F to search individual WEB pages for a name, term or word.
- Are you searching for Sanctuary medical treatment documentation to support a VA case/claim? Medical records documenting medical treatments which were administered aboard Sanctuary were not transfered to individual service member medical records, but they were retained on board until the ship's decommissioning. For individual service member medical records research, write:

Faessler | Machinist's Mate Second Class | "M" Division | 1970-1971 --- by clicking the "COMMS Board", then "email the WEBmaster" tab on the navigation bar at the top of this page.
