Other Comments:
I listed the corporations I supported in hopes that someone I served with may be employed there. Also, I am a "Road Warrior" and spend most of my weekday nights in a hotel room somewhere in the USA. It would be easier to contact me via my email or cell phone.
Also,the photos shown in the 'Photo Album' at the lower-left of this website shows me at the controls of a B17-G Flying Fortress. It is my favorite Heavy Bomber of WWII. The aircarft is known as "The Aluminum Overcast" and is owned by the Experimental Aircraft & Aviation Association. I had the opportunity to actually fly this B17-G Flying Fortress for 15 minutes on April 22, 1995 (I got it on video too).

Personal Memories
Memories Sailed from San Diego on August 29, 1973 and returned on March 11, 1974. When through a terrible Typhoon in the Luzon Straights bewteen the Philippines and Taiwan in November 1973. Swells were 40+ feet with Tuscaloosa taking 50 Degree lists. Both 30 Ton Bow Doors were torn completely off; with the Starboard Bow Door tearing much of the railing and deck fittings off the main deck. Holes peppered the Superstructure and hull.
