I did 2 tours on the old Grey Lady, 57-60 & 62-63. It was the best ship I ever servedon.After over 48 years I still meet up with some of my old divison shipmates every year.

I was their from 1978-1981,Great tour. I had 2nd Div.

I was stationed aboard the Mighty Midway from 1957-1960 and worked in the office of "G" Division. My off duty job consisted of being a Disc Jockey on station KMID from 2000-2200 every night at sea. My program was 'Eddies Tune Shop'.Still in contact with about 50 shipmates and have had 4-reuinions since the Midway became a museum in San Diego. Two of the reunions were in San Diego and we were able to go aboard each time.We couldn't believe how small the hatches were and how steep the ladders…
