USS Dixie AD-14 Photographer

Comments: Served on the Dixie from April 67 through Oct 70 as a Photographer's Mate. Would really like to catch up with mates from that era, like Jim (Jerry) Dyer. This was truly four of the best years of my life - loved it. The Dixie was a great old girl, which as I understand it continued on for many more years. When I was on her, she was the oldest ship in continuous service in the Navy as I recall.
