I was in S7 division with you and Harold and Gerald Moody. I played spades with you and Gerald on quite a few occasions on the midnight shift. I always wondered what happened to Harold and Gerald. I remember the big fight that Gerald and a guy named Goodman got into. They destroyed the entire sleeping area and even destroyed the metal furniture. Gerald was a nice guy unless you made him mad and then he would just loose it. Goodman was a whole other story.
I was in S7 division and knew you and Tom Estes and also was good friends with Harold and Gerald Moody. I never hear from any of those guys but wish I did. I was on that West Pac cruise and was on the Kitty Hawk till we went into dry dock in Bremerton. I then went into data processing class A school and spent my two remaining years at Naval Security station in Washington D.C.
