Hi Bob, I see that you live in West Springfield. I live in nearby Palmer, MA. I see that you joined the Navy on my birthday of June 25. 1947 that is. Old retired guy here. I used to work at the Springfield Newspapers. Did 40 years there in the Composing Room. Retired in 2010. My wife and I sometimes go to that On The Border Mexican restaurant on Riverdale Road. Maybe they'll get the Hard Rock Casino at the Big E grounds. My town of Palmer has been trying hard to get the Mohegan Sun Casino here. I went to Navy boot camp with Bob Young who lives on Pheasants Crossing in West Side. My boss at the newspaper lives on Circle Drive, West Springfield. His name is Dick LeClair. Big city, so you probably don't know my friends that live there. Worked with a Charlie Rogers, also from your area.
Welcome Robert! Have you ever thought about re-enlisting? Well... in a way that is! We could always use another Navy vet on the veteran crew of the USS Slater in Albany, NY! Even if only a day or two a month, you would be most welcomed aboard!
