 Additional Information
What are you doing now:

Semi-retired after 26 years on the Wilmington PD - as the Senior Master Sergeant. Have three lovely daughters who keep me busy and my first grandchild on the way.
Would like to hear from shipmates who served with me on the USS Farragut DLG-6 ('67-'68) or the USS Power DD-839 ('68-'69)
If all goes well I will be attending the Tin Can Sailors - Pennsylvania/Delaware - Bull Session - August 7, 2010.

Personal Memories

Best Moment
Graduation

Worst Moment
Guarding the outside dumpster on the Parade Ground in the middle of the night and freezing my butt off!!!

   

Other Memories
1. Being issued uniforms that were 1x2 size to big and being told that I'd grow into them. Never did!!!
2. Hearing another recruit say that his NEW Navy shoes were the very first NEW shoes that he ever owned!
3. Having our 'Southern' Company CO, a PO1, calling me a Damn Yankee! First, I thought that the Civil War was over and second, I thought that Illinois was a Northern State!
