Signed up Navy in '61, wouldn't take me till I turned 17 in '62. Did time in VP-42 flying anti-sub patrols from Baja to Kodiak Alaska out of NAS North Island. From there to three tours in the Tonkin Gulf working catapult launch crew on the USS Kitty Hawk, CVA-63. "Retired" in '66 after being extended three times as a "critical rate". Thanks Lyndon!

I'm not at all a religious man but God bless all those who served.
