What a great group to serve with, where
are Duffy, Casey, Diehnel, Mishler, Edler and the rest of the ETs?
You had better make
it to the reunion!!
I will never forget "General Quarters, General Quarters, this is NOT a drill!" And
Mr. Eddy commencing firing the 5 inch while I was on the Foremast. I thought
I was going to have to learn how to fly!!! I retired from San Diego Police Department,
due to being shot twice while I was a Robbery Detective, but can NOT complain.

North SAR in the Gulf of Tonkin to the Indian Ocean in one
quick trip. Christmas in the I.O. with the remnants of a tree brought
over from the USS Enterprise. The crew worked well together and consisted
of many great guys. Captain Jackson wouldn't have it any other way. I
am looking forward to our 2002 reunion in San Diego. |

left some strange memeries and even stranger scars! My scap book is full
of good pictures of all the guys who shared those years of long days
and nights at sea. It truely was a time of good friends and good times
