JL "Johnny" Johnson said… - Hey, chief. Did you ever run into an ENC named C. M. Crenshaw? He was our boot CC at RTC San Diego in January of 1964, but was heading back to the fleet when he was finished with us. He was a good man and helped me with a couple of problems after we graduated. I've tried to track him down over the years with no success.

I met him at our Gettysburg reunion in 2009. Bill Gazar was with us in Branson and I enjoyed the time that we got to spend together. Try to make it to Buffalo, August 23-26. You can check out website for further details.
