I was on the Sara from 1961 to 1963. My brother was also on the ship and was in the signal division. I was in X division and would go to the bridge to see him. His name was Bob (R.J.) Carroll. I sort of remember you, Chief Reno, Willie Crawford, Jim Gallinari and some others. My brother passed away 12 years ago. When I saw your page I figured I would drop you a note. Drop me a line if you get a chance.
