Hey Robert
I have very few photo's. I lived the tour rather that having the foresight of knowing how important the pictures would be to me now! I don't know where the one's I do have might be! But I'll try and locate them. They are few. I made mm2 but was quoted out because I only had less than 8 months to serve when I passed the test! They said that someone that would have more time to serve would get the opening. They then asked if I'd consider shipping over for another tour of duty, you know Robert I probably should have signed over and re-upped I was on course to be Chief before I was 28! I wonder what life would have held for me if I did! I'm happy with the way it did turn out, and I wouldn't change a thing, but, I always wondered what might have been if the executive officer that informed me of that slick move with their re-enlistment ploy to get me to re-up, was better at his job, just what might it have lead to!!! Dave Cupples has more pictures of me than I have! John Freeborn might have more, he never said that he did though, just my impression, he seems to remember a lot about a lot of people! Just a thought! I'm hoping to get to this years reunion in RI. The company my wife and I distribute products for is having an international convention in St. Louis in August, if the dates don't conflict, I'll be there. Janice and I have a lot of people in our business organization, and have to be there for them! Otherwise there would be no compromise, we'd be there to see old shipmates that have ment so much in my life's memory's! I'll look for those pictures but I don't have much hope! Rich
