Oh, that’s nice. They had a boat parade for my anniversary! Or Paul Simon’s birthday?

Anyway, fair winds, bluejackets. Anchors Aweigh!

I served from August 1968 to August 1972. I’m thankful for the times and people I served with. One of my best friends to this day is still in touch, and we call each other a few times every year. We worked together, partied together and rode motorcycles together. We were on the USS Mobile - LKA 115.
