Dear Shipmates, 

Many of you who attended the Arlington 2004 Reunion may recall --- a “USS Haynsworth DVD Photo Slideshow” was played on a large-screen television in the hospitality room. Unfortunately, the hotel did not provide us with an appropriate size room and even the TV set until late in the day. My original idea was to produce and present a Slideshow from Photos of The Ship, The Crew, The Membership and from photos taken from past Reunions, as well as personal photos --- that could be played with some soft background music for all to enjoy. This project was my first attempt and I wasn't at all pleased with the results. My wife questioned why I made some additional copies, but I thought possibly some others might like to have a copy, and one DVD disc was offered at the silent auction, and was sold for $20.00 which went to the Association.  The remaining copies that I carried were sold quickly. I promised those that purchased the original Discs that when I had time, I would redo it and send them a free updated version. WELL --- finally it's done --- and I'm quite pleased with it --- it contains over 500 Photographs, 10 Chapters and the video and background music plays quite smoothly for over an hour on your home television. 

I have heard from most that they, their family, their grandchildren, etc. have enjoyed viewing all the Photos of the Haynsworth, as well as many Shipmates from our days aboard our ship. Their families have a better understanding of what all this “Happy H” stuff is all about. In addition others have expressed interest in purchasing a copy either for themselves, or as a gift.

The price of the “DVD Photo Slideshow” is only $15.00 including shipping .

All checks for the DVD should be made out and mailed to: 
 
                                                 Howard R. Doble
                                                 4081 Section House Road
                                                 Hickory, North Carolina 28601 

Your DVD will be Mailed US Postal promptly.

PS:

Incidentally, people that purchased the DVDs had NO problem playing it on their home DVD player, but I caution you in advance some older DVD players may not read the disc, but if your player is less than two years old it should play just fine.
