My Apologies
To those who have sent
their names and additional
information, that I have
not yet added.
This project has become
very large and though I
work on it almost every
day, it is impossible
for me to keep up.
I will continue to add the
names and information as
quickly as I can.
Thank You All
For Your Support

I wonder if the Schwartz brothers, the
Blichfeldt brothers, Larry Knott and
Gunner Case from that period are
still around. |

Was assigned to Fox Division but almost
immediately was transferred to X division,
ran the TV station WIND-TV until we were
in Viet Nam, then transferred to Master
at Arms and served there until
I left the ship in October 1966.
