No I have not been back on board. I would like to go on board for about 2 hours, and retrive some souviners from 3 main. Do you go to any of the reunions? I was in Jacksonville last Sept. I saw Mario Espisito then. He was in the oil shack. He graduated about 2 weeks before us from "A" school. I am retiring June 1st. I have been inspecting boilers since 1978.
SHANNON, IM YOUR OLD BT "A" SCHOOL CLASSMAT AND 3MAIN fORRESTAL SHIPMATE. How are you doing. Do you have any contact with our former BT school class mates? How about any Forrestal BT's? Are you in the Forrestal assoication? If not you should join.
