Special Note: The photos I have from Mike Michalski are in perfect
condition despite being stored in an attic for over 50 years (in
Columbia, SC that means about 150 degrees in the summer to 20 degrees
in the winter). He did a great job taking the pictures and using the
highest quality processing/developing (Which was handled by his
Sister).  Return to the Main USS Lowndes Page
