This Plaque was carved by shipmate RM3 Dale Richart, USS Helena CA-75, CR Division, 1950-1954.
Dale then donated it as a door prize during the 1999 Helena Reunion which was held in Virginia Beach, VA
The Plaque measures 16 1/4 inches long and approximately 4 inches wide.

We do not know the name of the Helena shipmate who was the lucky winner of this Plaque. He recently moved to an assisted living home.
Prior to the move he had a rummage/moving sale and the Plaque was purchased by a seller on eBay.
Your web page manager---Shipmate Dave Brouchoud then won the eBay bid for the Plaque!
