Comments: Hi All! My name is Sherrie Winstead. I came across a document in
an old car magazine the other day & I would very much love to try &
return it to its rightful owner. The document says, and I
quote:
"U.S.S. Yorktown CVS - 10 6 November 1969 All Hands Be
Informed That This Certificate Is Presented To SN Jerry F. McCoy upon his
qualification as boat coxswain in 40 ft. "U" Boat and "MWB" This award is
made only to those who have completed a course of instruction in boat
seamanship, and have demonstrated expert boat handling proficiency. In the
absence of an officer eligible for command at sea, the above named man
is granted authority over all persons embarked in his boat. He is responsible
for the safety of his boat and its passengers and is charged with the honor
and responsibility of representing Yorktown wherever her boats may go."
It has the official seal of the Yorktown and is signed by First
Lieutenant P.S. Tepfenhart. If anyone has any information as how to find
Jerry F. McCoy or his family so I can give this to them, I would very much
appreciate it. It amazes me that this document has survived closed up in a
magazine for all these years! I can't help but feel like I'm suppose to get
it back to its owner. Thanks in advance for any help. Sherrie
Winstead
