    Al, thanks for the information about this website. I look at all these names, a boy does it bring back the memories. This is really a good way to catch up on old times. For some of you guys, I can't believe you're still alive.

    Paisano, remember Randy Stewart? Or I don't remember his name, the Boatswain mate on the line from Lousiana?

    Yeah, I lost the face hair and the hair on my head! Probably started with all the beer I use to have for lunch at the Bowling Alley!..... It was one hell of a ride! I remember it well.... I recall going to the Gut in Naples because we were told it was off limits!

Locating an old shipmate.

Does anyone recall a tall AT in the early 80's? His name was Steve, but I can't recall his last name.Also, I'm trying to locate an AE, Joey Martinez, if anyone knows how to contact him. He was in VA85 in the late 70's- early 80's.Any help would be much appreciated.
