Comment by Albert C. Venn Jr. on September 2, 2009 at 4:04pm - Joe, We did have some great times on her. I still keep in contact with Gary Moberg, Tracy Dronet, Mark Kane, Dewey Seagraves and a few other folks. Unfortunatly I had to attend Jeff Horsfall's funeral a while back. Oh Yea, a lot of TLC & a few Hail Marys to keep her running.

She was a good duty station ..

- Al, I still have one of those yo-yo's, however still waiting for my one "Good Deal" LOL. As with all ships the crew is what makes her great and the Yosemite had an outstanding crew while you and I were there. It took a lot of TLC to keep her running but there were a lot of good times on her.
