Current Webmaster - Murray Gibbs - gunnermadmur@neo.rr.com
This Website was originally created and started by Larry Ash. I
don't have the exact date. Larry Ash was paying for this website
until Feb, 2008 and then it went down. The 15th Med Association
is now paying for it.
Webmaster Murray Gibbs was given the password of this website in
2006. He was able to finally figure out how to make changes
without any instructions from anyone. January 2007 he downloaded
the Yahoo's website builder. He put all newsletters from the USNS
Upshur II that the 15th Medical Battalion came over in the summer
off 1965. He had all the files necessary to recreate the website
after it went down. He got this website back up during the middle of
March 2008.
Webmaster Murray Gibbs has changed some of the structure of the
website due to some of the originally links/buttons would not work.
He added a 2nd page of link/buttons. The 2nd page was done so
not to alter the original index page too much. The 2nd page will be
used for all the additions of new material.
