Memories For This Unit

Best Friends
Ray Grindstaff, Steve Pelon, Bill Siemers, Lee Gravatt, Frank Wietrzak, Gary Stoops, Les Hirokane, Mike Coffee, Jim Grant, Harvey Bryant, Chuck Howard, Jim hargrove, Lee Gilliam and many more faces but I can't remember their names.

Best Moment
All the times I was given a job that was beyond my level of expertise and being trusted to complete the task.
   

Other Memories
Making lifetime friends.

Les Hirokane was my mentor. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be who I am today. He was the first to take a chance with me. I'll be forever in his debt.
