    For what it's worth, I met a cute little HT3 aboard Hector. The ladies came to the ship in 82. We've been married for a little over 25 years now. It was against the rules then, but once we came together we couldn't stand being apart. I have a lot of cool Navy memories, but that is the best.

    Phil, I didn't think that was you. I worked with a molder who retired and went to work as a civilian at the DATC foundry that used to be on the Hector, MLCS Denbow. Even though you probably didn't know him I sure you have heard the name. He was still there when I retired 11-77. Later

    No sir, I was ML2 aboard Hector AR7 for four years from 80 - 84. Did my time in the sand pile. Loved it.

    Phil Lowe, There was an HT-3 or HT-2 Lowe aboard Sierra AD-18 during the 1959 med cruise, would that be you?

    I feel for you David. For some reason employers prefer a bachelor's arts degree over my four years of real time life in the Navy. I had a better education than any of the little bastards, traveled the world, and could still whoop their asses to boot!
    The good news is, after blowing my retirement fund on his college education, I finally convinced my son to go Navy. He is shaping up and losing weight for boot camp now. Playing hockey and working out every day. They want him for the nukes. Smart kid, and I'm really proud of him. Yin and yang...

    Best of luck on the job Dave.  I finally found one, too.  The place makes bullets for the Army.  It's contract work, but it may last me until I can retire.  Hopefully a little longer than that.

    Heres wishing all of you Sand Rats a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year.

    Dave, you know I remember him. Haven't heard from him since A School. I'd like to find out what happened to Ken Dilli. He was on the Gompers with me in the mid 70's.

Posablly seeing about starting up a navy molders museum?

I know they dismissed our rate back in 1997. I would hope there are enough of us left to possably  get together and see about creating a museum somewhere  here in the states to preserve our long history and heritage that we all have shared as Molders. Any of you out there please give me a response if you read this Discussion.                                      Thanks.
