Togetherweserved. Web site is: www.togetherweserved.com/navy. At least I think I saw your profile there. Or maybe it was on mil.com. At any rate, welcome aboard, shipmate. You missed the last ship's reunion. It was Great! My first one & did I have a good time, meeting up with old friends. The next one is either in Lake Charles, La or possibly in Branson, Mo. Don't know the dates yet, but if you like I'll keep you posted. Have a good one. Oh, my personal email is: pumpdocchief@yahoo.com. I do occasionally IM, and do the chat thing on this web site. Keep in touch.
