re: Theft of memorabilia from the Stimson reunion association

Shipmates, sometime in late November the storage locker where STIMSON memorabilia was kept was broken into and some of the artifacts were stolen.

If you are in the Charleston SC area, could you please keep an eye on Craigslist, local flea markets, etc. If you spot memorabilia for sale, please contact the STIMSON Reunion Association webmaster at

https://www.ssbn655.org/" rel="nofollow - https://www.ssbn655.org/ with the details.

Remember in 2004 when the stole the Medals of Honor from the Museum at Patriots Point? Where do these folks think they can sell stuff like that? They have got to know people will be monitoring the sale sites for it.
