Jim Mogan, how the hell are ya? it was late 66 and we had asked the captain to come down and check it out.. It was the onions in the bug juice that got me. Where are you at now, I move to Maui, last I heard you moved to Utah. Hope all is well
Can anyone remember when all we had left to eat on board was onions and pancakes? And how about the wonderful bench tables and seeting ,great in rought seas. I think it was sometime in 66 or 67 back on the Nam coast.

I served under both Capt. Bress and Capt. Casper. Casper was a great Capt. To be exact, his flag was green w/a white ghost, it read "the friendly ghost of the vietnam coast."
