Dick, I just came across your site!. Great Stuff!. I served with you aboard the Woody Woo from Dec '70 to Mar ' 73. I was an ET nuke (we didn't get to socialize much)
I'm leaving tomorrow for Indiana to visit Rick Berkmier YN3SS and Herb Roble MM3SS (A gang)
I'd like to meet you again to rehash old times. I live in Columbia, PA and it's only about a half-hour scoot to Mechanicsburg.
I don't get on the radio much, but the W3HZU tower is visible from my home....maybe we could schedule a QSO on the .97 machine
thanks for the photos. I recall you, Seabeck, Bates and some other faces.
I served as Blue crew medical officer Dec69 to May 71, so was aboard during these patrols. I was relatively skinny and bald. Lt Bumgarner, Don Grace, come to mind.
I recall the dispute with Captain Weber and XO Bud Keim about the face masks and beards, after CNA Zumwalt liberalized the dress code re facial hair in early 71.
I really enjoyed viewing your Woody Woo album. I remember John Del Rosario, Billy Bates, John ? TM1, Kasmire, and Bear, but had trouble putting names to others that I recognized. I stood many watches listening to the Platters with Kas. Andy Suntag TM2 (SS) and I reported aboard around June '71 and completed 4 patrols before being transferred to the John Marshall. Thanks for the memories.
