During my 27 yrs in the navy and CG and the time from 46-52 Inthe merchant marine I had some good times and made some good friends.some of my good times were V-E day in London and V-J day in boston.one bad experience was after coming to Fl. amd reading the book about Gen Chesty Pullers sonand some of the times we both spent at the same times and places in RVN.If you ever read the book the seabees he talks about are my battalion and the bridge was the job I was working on at the time not far from where he stepped on a mine that took both his legs.1944-1981 some of the best and worst times of my life.
