Re: Looking for signalmen, quartermasters, or ops personnel from '71-'75.
Don, I came onboard in 1970 during the Med cruise and discharged in mid 1973. SMC Forrest was leading PO at that time. Others were Jim Lipka, John Frantz, Jim McGovern, Joe Watson. Also Bill Rowe and Joe Thoueau. I remember you coming on the signal bridge. I also went on the STANAVFORLANT cruise and the overhaul in Charleston and then GITMO. If you get this please let me know. I have tried to get in touch with other SM's but no avail.

Hi Don,
I was an RM, and I remember you in the ops compartment. I was aboard the Adams for the 72 Stanavforlant cruise, and the 73 Mideastfor cruise. Remember CO Donald Gurke, and the XO (I believe his name was Sheridan). Remember your SM gang, as we were pretty much tied at the hip with you guys.
Good times!
I'm from Brooklyn, NY, but I've been living on the New Jersey shore for 33 years. Looking to move south soon.
