">> Dr. Gary Novak died <<
I didn't know that either... bummer. He wasn't the greatest guy I ever served with but he mostly treated the Corpsmen OK.
All the "Foghorns" I kept were ones that had something about either Sandy or I in 'em I guess. I…"

"I was on the rock from '59 to '63 and was the editor of "The Foghorn." We used to put it out in the old print shop. An old civilian, Mike Finnessy was head of the print shop. Maybe some of you might remember him."

Nice hearing from you. I was attached to the SAR also. If I remember we had to get 4 hours a month to collect flight pay. I have some pictures of me being hoisted up into a helicopter hanging on to a May West. Brings back a lot of memories.…"

"I was a doctor at Argentia 1965-1967 and am very sorry to hear that Gary Novack died. I agree he was a great guy. By the way, my son was born at Argentia. George Sabel MD"
"I remember Dr. Cross and Dr. Melhorn. I remember one time in ER, Dr. Cross drew fluid from his wife's knee. She had water on the knee, and he explained to me what he was doing. I don't know if I mentioned this before, but Dr. Gary Novak died. He had…"

"Enjoyed your pictures. I was at Argentia in 1966, and don't think much had changed since you left. Do you remember the name of the man who use to pick up laundry on the base. I use to hang out at the Blue Room across from the hospital.
