Heart warming to see a few old friends chime in. I realize that there are occasions where we just don't have anything to say that hasn't been said before so I want to make the point that its not what is said, its more of that reassurance that there are a few of us still out there.

In talking with George back a few month ago, he jokingly said "you know John, we've told these sea stories many time and have embellished them to the point they are bordering on being lies"

Well, the facts are I don't care. I could listen to or reads them over and over again because it more about knowing you're still out there.

So, I appreciate the response to this note. I'm gonna keep chiming in every now and then and I would sincerely appreciate all would do likewise.

And Glen, thanks for the work. I'll phone Jim this afternoon.

and Dee, OTA1 Jim Yosco was with us in Bermuda in the 74-77 timeframe. Good guy. Had a motor boat with an Oldsmobile 440 engine. The thing would fly. Thank goodness the Bda Sound was free of hidden objects.

and if anyone else is reading this, STG/OT Robert Stewart was with me on Ramey in the 68-71 timeframe.
I'm pretty sure he got out after 4 so its not surprising that we can't come up with a lead.
Disappointing as he was a really good man and I hate not being in contact with old and good friends and Robert was a good one.

Anyway, we got a string going and it was good to hear from all. Let's try to keep it up.

Hi John,
Were you able to contact James Yosco?

Holy smokes, there’s an actual message chain going on! We’re on a little vacation and I haven’t checked the site for a while. Nice to see folks are alive and kickin’! Hopefully we can perpetuate this activity, I’ve missed it.

Hi Randy,
It didn’t take a great deal of effort to possibly track down one of the two individuals that John Ellis was interested in locating. I am interested in finding out if the James Yosco in Rhode Island is the former OT. Not that I ever knew him.
It was easier to track him down than finding that Hotel class sub last known to be somewhere between Adak and Tierra del Fuego!

Glenn,

No answer at the number but it did have a voice recorder. I didn't leave a msg. Will try again today and will leave a msg if I don't get a response.

Tx again for ur assist.
John

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. Not sure to what extent you want to pursue the search, but here are a couple more numbers that appear to be associated with Mr. Yosco. 401-377-6001 and 401-377-2202.If these turn out to be a dead end, I came across a couple of email addresses that he has. I will send them only if you think they will be of assistance...

Glenn,

Yes, I would like the e-mail addresses. Pls send the to me at "patriellis@gmail.com"

I tried the original number again today and again, no answer. I did leave a msg today in hopes of it being a good number.

Thanks for the additional numbers. I'll try them in just a bit. I'll let you know if there are any results.

Again, thanks for the assist.

John

Glenn,

The 401-377-6001 number was a commercial nr that did not respond and the 401-377-2202 nr did not answer or have an answering machine.

John

Glenn, Thanks for the try but all numbers were a bust.

John

Hey John! Dont have any info on the fellows your looking for but wanted to chime in and say I havent gone to the dark side (FB)! Hope ur well.

Jim Yosko, aka Yoda, is in Westerly, RI. I have an email address of his that I wrote to him about 2-3 years ago. I reached out and if I get a hold of him, I'll try to post info here for you all. He was my mentor and a great friend. Cheers all!
