Hey Bruce,
Welcome to NavyVets and for joing VA-85. Like Dave, I'm having difficulties remembering you even though we were in the squadron during the same time in '79, albeit brief. I left in October. Nevertheless, it was a great experience but at the time I was glad the ride was over. If you have any pics you're willing to share, please feel free to upload them.
I hope you can make it to the reunion this coming September. It's shaping up well and should be a great and memorable event. At the very least, get in touch with Robert "Bob" Moore and let him know you exist. Again, thanks for joining us. -Al
Bruce. I dont send a lot of bullshit texts and e-mails...or junk mail i should say. but I promise i will keep in touch. I am still trying hard to get in touch with dave prater. The last address I had for him was in illinois.I have called about 6 wrong people. Tomorrow I am gonna pay for a search service to try and locate him.My cell # is 812-371-7775 and i am usually up all night because i work third shift. but you can get ahold of me early a.m. too if need be.I have called every steve grogan in the tennessee area and stil no luck on him. Run that reunion by your wife and see if you can get permission to go or at least get her to sign your permission slip,hahahahahaha. Still a smart ass aint I.
Seriously though,life is too short and it will be good to see some of you guys and laugh at how old you have gotten. and you can laugh at how fat I am. I am not planning on taking my wife , she is going on vacation with the kids to mertle beach. I plan on throwing the harley in the back of the truck and head east...
