Another famous resident, or former resident of Poway, was the late Lloyd M. Bucher, commander of the USS Pueblo.

I was stationed at Coronado NAVPHIBASE prior to Vietnam.

The Pueblo Crew was just released and the enlisted crew was in quarantine on the second deck of my barracks ((April-1969).

They fired us up for our upcoming tour of Vietnam.

I love my country and I love the USN.

Yes, a prominent member of the community. Felled by Alzheimer's, the cruelest of diseases. Buried w/ honors at Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery, a beautiful setting on Point Loma overlooking the Pacific Ocean and San Diego Bay.

RIP, good warrior.
