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!

Comments: Hello out there. I have just been contacted by Bob Polanowski about the reunion in September of 2003. Would love to hear from some of you guys who were on the Bremerton during the period 1956 to 1958. I came aboard after DK A school in October or November of 1956. Does anyone remember the period of time we were in Dry Dock in Bremerton, Washington. I know we came back to Long Beach after the cruse that left in November '56. Would like to know who might be going to the reunion in Charleston. I am very seriously considering it. I have been married since 1967 to my wife Jan and we have one daughter.
Have lived in Columbus,Ohio all our married life. She is from Columbus. I was a buyer for 31 years and semi retired in 1998 and am working part time for the same company. The fourth largest Restaurant Supply and Equipment dealer in the U.S.
Sure hope to hear from some of you guys.
