I served from 62 to 64 but am in close communications with another plank owner by the name of Paul O'Connor. They called him P.J. and he was an electrician. Hope this helps. .... IRO

I can't remember you (50+ years) but I am sure I did know you because I also server from 1960 to 1962 as a plank owner. As a EM-2 I did many a switchboard watch in both engine rooms.

I too was a plank owner and my name is one of the 13 names on the plaque on the mess deck. I was a BT1 in charge of the forward fire room and also the first oil and water king. I went on the builders trials in Bath Maine. I was extended because of the Cuban Crises.
