I brought the Rock back to Phila from Geata Italy was HTCS on her and we had to take up some of the wooden deck and make souvenirs for the Decom Crew Have been to see her once in Buffalo
Frenchie, right? I went by Earl during my time on the Rock. I was in FM division with Mike and Vance. Mike was Best Man at my wedding, and we will spend about five days with him in Nashville in October.
Oh! Henry! The name of my band on board the "Rock" was Barfels Backwater Boys" even though we were not so keen on Country we did some Country Rock as well as others during my stint.
I help with the week-long working party on the ROCK every spring in Buffalo, but more importantly, I do line drawings of warships in AutoCAD. I've attache one of LITTLE ROCK for anyone that wants it. Do what you want with it and enjoy. Thanks for your serviceCLG-4.pdf
