To: Kathy in Alaska

A lifelong friend from kindergarten through high school served on the George Washington, blue crew.

He was a lifer. His wife liked the job security that the military provided for them. Now that I think about it, I introduced him to his wife while we were on leave at the same time. I wonder if he has ever forgiven me?

I rode the diesel boats and later slow ambush, ( fast attack. ) Boat sailors will know the reference. :-)
