    John: it looks like 2004 was a bad year for both you and me. You had 3 stents and I had 5. I did'ent think you were that old to have a heart attack, let alone two. I was 55 years old when I had my heart attack and had the stents installed. I don't know if you know Frank Summy or not but I think he lives in Pa. I was stationed with him when he and I were both 2nd class. Take care John. I will be talking to you later. Al Crose.

    Well Big Al, I reid to stay on the Sound to see if I really had a daughter in Barcelona, But the *C.O told Me it was time for Me to move on, ended up in Sima San Diego and brought over a Spanish lady I meet in Torremolinos, Was transfered to Rota spain and a Base Police. I got out in 89 and stayed with My sister in SanDiego for a few months and Moved to Ct and worked for Groliers for a few years as a fork lift driver. Then met a lady on line and moved to Fl then to Ohio but things didnt work out , so a friend told Me I could get a job in N.H , was working as a Poweder coater for a small company then Moved to Pa as a fork lift driver till I messed up My knees , and had 2 heart attacks and 3 stents piut in in 2004, Right now still in Pa working as a Flagger cotroling traffic for road work and untilities

    Hi John: So what have you been doing for the past 20 years or so? Where have you lived and what type of work have you been doing? As for me, when I left the navy I went to work for a foundry in fl. and ended up buying it and two others. I worked them for about 3 years and then sold out and took a job in N.C. running a large brass and brz. foundry making valves. Worked there for 3 years and gave it up to return to florida. My Son Tim was a truck driver for North American Van Lines and I used to go out on the road with him for weeks at a time for something to do. In 2004 I had a bad heart attack and had 5 stints installed . With that, I retired for good and have been retired sence then. My life is now very relaxed. All my boys are on there own and my Wife Wanetta and I just take it easy and play with the grandkids. That is about all for now. Take care of yourself John. Al Crose
