Comments: It's pure luck! Thought about my 51-55 service SK3 aboard CA130. One bad memory. While at NTC(1951, Co 551)I was a victim of a shakedown for $150 by the Chief. He was to pay back the money the following week. He never did. I've carried this memory around for 52 years and always felt if the oppoutunity ever presented itself, I'd apoligize. Well, here it is. I'm really sorry!

Claude is still living and getting around great and will be 73 years old in Sept. I, his son, have made arrangements to take him to the reunion that will be going on in Charleston in September. If any of you remember him please write and let me know. Also if you are going to be at the reunion next month, I'm sure Claude would like to see and hear from you. Thanks.
