BTC(SW) Found this pic surf'n the web one night! Don't know when it was taken. Looks like 70-80's. Got to be in San Dog cause you can see Corrinado bridge to the left background. Too bad were not man'n the rail, we were always in "the Pit"!!

Hello Kevin and Rusty! I was in B-Division in 1986 Aft Fire room for 6 months. Really enjoyed working with you. Hope all is well with you both. DCC Barnes (deceased) pulled me out and sent me to DC A School. Left CG 32 in 1991 from Portland and headed to SUBASE Pearl Harbor.

Now in Australia building LNG plants for a few years. Kevin, no suprise you live in the Phillipines...you seemed to enjoy that port!

Good on ya, to all my shipmates and fellow Standley Steamers! Miss you all, and appreciate your contributions to my life and character.
