You probably got to McMurdo about the time I left on 20 October. Flew out on VX-6's super connie.
Wintered Over, '62-'63 at McMurdo.
Richard,
Where can I find your page of 'ship ops?' I have some pics of Pole and McM. I do not know if anyone would be interested as all who could view it probably have been there.
Vallejo. Just saw that was your home. I answered u about my stay on the ice but then noticed where you r from. I was RM2/RM1 on the ice but believe it or not I made RMC when I was going to DS A school in Mare Island and was latterly converted to DSC when I graduated. I think that is the only time it every occurred. Anyway, Although I lived on base there. I did enjoy Vallejo!
Went on board the Navasota in 1964 at Bremerton Naval Shap Yard. The Bow wsa tied to the pier, The Fantail was in dry dock and the Midsection was gone and it was converted to a jumbo tanker. I renlisted in Stpt. of 64 and in in 65 went to BT B school.
Hi Richard, I would have loved going to Australia. I was on the first cruise for the Falls and we spent time in Japan and off the coast of Nam and the Phillipines. After the Falls I was on the Guadalupe an oiler and the USS Enhance MSO437. until Oct. 1970 when I was honorable discharged. I have not had much luck in finding shipmates for my years on the Falls 1967-69.
Hi Richard,

Best regards,
