A recent letter from Denver Keplenger left the above forwarding address for the few remaining sailors of the historic South China Yangtze Patrol- Asiatic Fleet. This blog and websites noted in the index will continue to keep their history available.
HERE IS THE LAST LETTER from the organization. Denver Keplinger closes out
with the memorable line --- "See You at the
Slop Chute on the
Old Whangpoo".
I'LL MEET YOU AT THE SLOP CHUTE ON THE OLD WHANGPOO"
tune of "Let Me Call You Sweetheart"
I'll meet you at the slop chute on the old Whangpoo
Bring along your dip net; there'll be enough for two
There'll be beans and carrots and some Irish stew
I'll meet you at the slop chute on the old Whangpoo!
... Also reference the Last Flagship of the Asiatic Fleet.
