Glenn Lorei wrote on 2002-01-08 18:53:15.0

Comments: The engineers in M, A, and B divisions were a great bunch of guys. Most were good friends. We had good leader ship. I remember a Chief Butterfield and Chief Zurrell. We had a very fa- mous skipper,Capt John D Bulkeley, this fellow was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor by President Roosevelt for rescuing Gen MacArthur off Corregidor with his PT boat. He was skipper of the T for a short time in 1958. He signed my MM1/C promotion certificate. Great memories!! I did a lot of growing up on this ship. Many can say the same thing,I'm sure. This experience should be required, the world would be a much better place because of it. called the "Idle Hour". As I recall, a bunch from M div hung out there when the ship was in port.-A fun place. I did a lot of growing up on this ship. I became a responsible human being. The USN did this not only for me but most of us. This experience should be required, the world would be a better place..
