Hi Mike, my name is Frederick Smith. I live in nearby Palmer, MA. I worked at the Springfield Newspapers from 1970 to 2010, now retired. Looking at your info you and I went into the Navy around the same time. You enlisted two weeks before me. I enlisted on 13 APR 1965. So we're probably around the same age. I turned 67 on 25 June 2014. I also see that you and I also served in the gator Navy, as I was aboard the USS Cambria (APA36) which is now decommissioned. I sometimes go to a restaurant in West Springfield on Memorial Drive. It's called On The Border. In fact we were out your way just two days ago at the Cinemark Theaters (Showcase) to see the movie "America." I have a boot camp buddy also living in West Springfield on Pheasants Crossing. His name is Bob Young. Drop me a line sometime if you wish. E-mail: rs.js.ss@verizon.net
