Hello Mike, I see by that you must be alive and well. I may have a ball cap back at my home. I am currently over in Bosnia with the South Dakota National Guard doing a 7 month deployment. Later on in life I got back in the Navy reserve for 6 more years and got out once I realized it was a dead end street. I have been in commercial aviation for 19 years as a civilian. I joined up with the Army National guard about 5 years ago and have been working with helicopters. I got about 4 more years before I'll be elgible for a reserve pension someday. The only folks I have seen since I got out were Steve Brenner who I spent several weeks with while I was looking for a apt in Boston, I saw Kevin Bove/Bruns while working in Minneapolis, I saw Woodward the Gunners Mate while passing through the Mpls airport, I actually ended up on the same plane as Glenn Dorsey once while flying to Little Rock AR. I often wonder about my old shipmates and hope that life has been good to them. Are you still in the Cincinatti area? I got married in 83, finished college in 86, and have two daughters and a son. Have you heard from Mike Lucero or Mike CAhill? Send me a note if time permits. Adios
I WAS ON THE KING 76-79, ARRIVED AT LITTLE CREEK SEPT 79, TAD W/UDT-21 UNTIL COMMISSIONING. SAW A NAME IN YOUR ARTICLE I RECOGINIZED KEVIN BOVE/BURNS, LOOKING TO GET IN TOUCH W/ ANYONE FROM 76-79. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED, I WAS A STOREKEEPER. THANKS
