Where are you now?:	Dad had a serious problem on an ankle that needed major surgery, but afterwards, he could not balance on a rolling deck. He was offered shore establishment’s for the rest of his time, but he didn’t like the idea of never getting a sea draft, so he took up the Navy’s offer and was invalided out. Unfortunately, he crossed the bar on the 05/06/2004 after a long and painful illness. If you have any memories of him, please get in touch. Thanks for taking time to read this . I am well rehearsed in the noble art of RUM drinking, especially pussers!
