Anyone going to Thailand here faily soon (MAY-JUNE) My great uncle served on her for a while and got transfered. When he pasted away, he said he'd like some of his ashes to be spread with his shipmates along with a wreath and lay. I'm about to deploy soon so I won't beable to make the anniversary trip and what not so was wondering if someone could help me in honoring he last wishes. He severed in WWI and WWII as a motor machinest mate. e-mail me for further details
thanx

Steve,
I think this is something we might be able to make happen. Let me make a phone call to the boat captain and see if we will be near the Lagato during that time.

We did a similar memorial trip in the past taking relatives of crew just after 1st found.

See Drmike : photos : USS Lagarto exp., Thailand- Jul 05- powered by SmugMug

There is only 1 operator with the marks and running trips to her (hes a member 'Jamiemac' here). I suggest you contact him. Im sure he has trips lined up.

webiste is:-
www.techthailand.com

I think there are still a couple of places left on Richie Kohler’s April 3rd charter too.

see below latest newsletter:-

"We have a couple of great opportunities for rufty - tufty wreck divers in 2008.
These trips were originally full charters but due to cancellations a few places are available if you’re quick!
Firstly, in March we have a trip firstly going south to the USS Lagarto then north exploring some new marks, then finishing off with Hammerhead’s wrecks. Leaving from Samui, a whole week’s diving on all our best wrecks, we haven’t done this before.
Secondly, Richie’s Kohler’s charter at the beginning of April has a few places left. Five days of diving, some known marks, hopefully some new ones. If you’d like to dive with one the most infamous wreck divers around, let us know"

If all else fails Im sure Jamie will oblige - hes a real sweert heart

WOW,
thanx for the overwellming reasponse. My family is greatly apprecitve of this support. I would like to send the Urn, Brass plaque, wreathe, and lay to someone rather than send it internationally. If I have to I will send the pack straight to thailand if I have little or no options.

Just got the word, we can make this happen. We leave the dock on Koh Tao for the Lagarto May 20th. You can send the package to me in Canada and I will carry it to Thailand. PM me and I will give you shipping details. We may also be able to video the event for the family.
