All true. And what a great testimony to Pete! I worked with him on 1977-79 in Iceland. Learned too much from Chief Pete, Dave Williams and George Widenor. Enough for a lifetime! And I was just kidding about Nicholas and Alan. They are cool dudes too. I have more respect for those two than anyone I've ever met. Don't tell them I said that though. They have big enough heads already.
I retired February 1987 and it's hard to think that was 31 years ago. Time goes by so fast and it goes by faster the older I get. I still remember in June 1967 as a STGSN with a NEC ST-0411 stepping off the airplane that took Dave Novess and me for a tour at NAVFAC San Salvador Bahamas. That was fifty years ago; YIKES!!!
