After we went in and registered and settled in our room. I went back down to see who all would show up. Three of the men I served with in A division, boat shop, /Â Air conditioning refrigeration. Ron, Bill and Tommy, I was able to see Ron when he came through Amarillo a few months back, but as for Bill and Tommy I haven’t seen them since I got off the ship back in 1970. It was great to catch up with all these years. All to gather we had nine men from that time period. We had men from when the ship was commissioned in 1957 to when it was put out of commission in 1985.

It must have been amazing to meet somebody you hadn’t seen for so long, forty five years. Wow!

It was neat seeing them again but we did all have the same memories of what we did back thin.

I should have read things more thoroughly—My question was answered (would have been) if I’d actually read it. So glad so many of your buddies were able to attend!
