Nice story, Chuck! Our histories are very similar but the Navy and marrying my high school sweetheart came in 1969. Congratulations to you on your career and the enduring time with your bride.
Chuck,
First I want to say "Thank You and Linda for your service". When fond system memories are exchanged your name always comes up in the discussion. As I have always said "It is NOT the equipment that has made SOSUS/IUSS great, it was and continues to be the "People". Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. - Ed Smock
Nicely said and Pat and I got to be a part of that 52 years. Stationed together on a number of occasions, I can truthfully say there was not a better shipmate.
