Letter to Editor:
"Missouri recalled
Editor, News-PressGazette:
As a native of St. Joseph, being named after the town and having been christened at St. Joseph's Cathedral, as well as having been educated at the Cathedral School and the Convent of the Sacred Heart, I want your readers to know that Missouri is not forgotten out here in Long Beach.
We have a beautiful harbor which has been home in recent years to the Queen Mary, Howard Hughes Spruce Goose and the battleship New Jersey.
Now we are welcoming the battleship Missouri with open arms. The Missouri is now loved and cared for in Long Beach Harbor. While here, the 45,000-ton Missouri will be refitted for an active future in the Navy after completion of the $463.7 million modernization project, which will take months.
