Happy birthday old man.
I never realized that Deb was older than you. She just turned 60 on the 9th of this month. You are a huge part of those memories my friend. Those days were some of the best days of our lives. The best family there could possibly be. Be well and give my best to your lovely bride.
Hi Randy,
Congrats on your birthday. heres hope that the next sixty years will be better than the last. I just turned 57 in January so you have me by a few. Working with you and the rest of the folks at BDA was one of the best tours of my career. Tell Chris that Pat and I say hi.
Hey Bob,
I agree, Bermuda was a great tour which for the most part included a great bunch of people. Had any "Fung Lunctions" lately? Hope all is well with you and Pat.
Happy birthday Randy. Doesn't hardly seem possible that so many years have passed when you and Chris were my neighbors at Argentia. Hope you have another 60 still in front of you. Regards Mark
Happy Birthday, Randy! I have just a little more "time in rank" than you as I'll turn 62 this year. My wife and I will both retire from teaching school this June and are looking to spend more time with our young grandkids. I hope to see you at the next IUSS Reunion.
Randy Scott - 60 years old! Wow! How has this happened? I haven't seen Randy in about 30 years, so my memories are still of the young, handsome lad making a serious difference at CVB. You are frozen in time my friend, in your SOSUS prime. No...Randy can't be 60, can he?
Congrats Randy - have a great time with your family, and many happy returns.
Thanks, George. I can remember you posting notice of your 60th on here, you walked the Golden Gate to celebrate, as I recall. It has been 30 years, since I left CVB to go back to Kef in April 81. Here's to another 30 years for all of us! :)
Congrats Randy, seems like just a few weeks ago that I bought that 1973 Land Rover from you up in Kef...those were the good old days...I think that was 1977???
It's amazing how fast time flies. It's hard to believe it'll be 12 yrs in August since I retired. But the memories are still fresh. I can vividly remember a certain QA officer at Keflavik in 1982 whipping a certain OT3 into shape and for that he's eternally grateful.
I look back everyday to the best times of my life. I do so knowing that, unlike many young people today, what was accomplished really made a difference in world events. So many non-military folks long to be able to have that feeling, just as many young military men and women know that what they are doing will have meaning and influence far beyond their time of service.
