Thanks for straighting out my cloudy memory. Re-reading my post I had recognized my error with Bob Turnipseed's first name but could not edit it. Heck, to me everybody in kakhi was either "Captain, Mister or Chief" so I'm glad I only muffed one.
Now I recall R. S. Stanley and his distinctive signature. I even adapted a portion of his script in later life. Who was Mike Dwyer that I remember, I recall he was P-3 air crew, other than his assignment at Pt. Sur?
For the rest, it's how I recalled it, 37 years ago ... Not correct, but a really great memory none the less.
I'm in Secaucus, NJ today and leaving tonight. Next time we're in the area and have a day off I would love to drive down to Milton and buy you a cup of coffee.
Since we’re making corrections, let me add my two cents: Stu was partially correct - it’s a matter of time. I was ORO from Sep 1971 to mid-1974, first under OpsO LT H. Tom Byron (remember his horses?) and then LT Robert Ray Stanley. Concurrently I filled Ops LCPO and, later, SCPOC billets. Rick Kaiser relieved me as ORO upon reporting from SNI in mid-1974. LTjg Bob Turnipseed became OpsO at about that time.
All that aside, I remember Larry Holberton from Pt Sur and NOPFDN as a good guy and am saddened by his passing. Jack
I knew Larry from Pacific Beach and Grand Turk. He was a hell of a guy and a great technician. I am so saddened to hear of his passing. We used to go four wheeling in the Black hills of Washington State, along with Jack Rose and a couple of others.
