Marty, I don't remember you but I was a fireman when I came aboard in July 1958. I was in A-gang with Pete Lindahl, Ed Cooney, Inns and don't remember too many others. Its been a long time. The Mighty Mac was my first and I will have memories that will never leave me. The Gold E and many other E's makes her the best in the 7th fleet. Our home port of Yokosuka has so many wonderful memories and all the ship parties we had there and in Subis at driftwood beach. I left a lot of money in those places in my 20 years in the Navy and would do it again in a heart beat. I have never in my 20 years have been with a crew that worked so hard to please the Capt as we did. George W Strout was the Co and made us all proud as I remember. I have many pictures of our home and look at them often. I guess when we get older, we only have our memories. There are a few shipmates that I email in the engineering dept. I hope you find this in good health. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES.
