My best friends were Dave Willen, Jay Brykcznski, Randy Lienemann, Joe Carter, Ken Olson, Ken Prevette, Wayne Judy, Bruce Hartman, Mitch Arney, Don Borgeson, Lawris Hampton. Dan Vidrine, Sam Tucker. We also had a dear Japanese family Eiko and Masao Suzuki.
My best moment was when I took my wife to Kyoto for our 5th Anniversary. Others were our visits to Hakoni, Nikko and Shimoda. We also had friends from home and our good friends who were stationed in Korea. For me, the many trips to Akihabara. We loved the New Years visits to the many shrines and temples in our area. We also loved the food at many of the restaurants in Yokosuka, Yokohama and Tokyo. I advanced my hobby of photography and darkroom work.
There were a number of worst moments. They revolved around screwing up at work. Fortunately, I never did anything that required more than a little extra military instruction. This normally involved studying my operational manuals and doing updates to the various manuals.
