Thanks Paul, Glad to have you back on line, My 12 year old lap top died last month so i started using my desk top and it crashed so i went out pick up a new lap top and desk top in one sweep. The hard part was finding them with windows 7 not 8 I'm not into the touch screen stuff, I'm still using a flip phone and will till it dies. I don't think Andy is my guy all I can remember was he a first class pm he was about 6'2 or so and slim. I know he was heading to San Diego after the decommissioning of the Markab, I'm thinking it was to the school but not sure. This had to be late 1968 or early 1969. Have a Great Summer Talk Too You Soon. Thanks Again for your reply
