    Bruce...and all whom replied, All went well with surgeries, had a total of three to get every thing back in working order.   Doc says I am good to go {good thing they didn't send in a Psychiatrist } Had a lot of internal bleeding just re-appear out of nowhere. Got everything reattached and if it lasts another forty years I wont complain. Thanks again for your concerns and prayers, Most of you knew I was to damned mean to die yet anyway...

    I remember Rick Cearly pretty well along with clayton,bull and a few other people.Ricks hair was alot redder back then. I will post the picture later. I was with the squadron late spring of 73 to july of 76. Most of that time I worked on the line. Transfered to the powerplant shop after I sewed on the crow. And the last few months I worked in AIMD in the test cell division which was nice when we had alot of engines to test. Because we would have a 2nd shift. But our work night was only 4 hrs because we cuoldn't run engines after 8pm because of the noise. I had alot of fun back then.remember alot of things. Even most of the officers were pretty good. I didn't retire from the navy but I did retire from an Air guard unit in Milwaukee.

    I didn't get much time with the crowd, but it was great to see guys like Al and Booby and Paisan and Rocky League.  It seems so long ago until we are standing there together talking and then it comes rushing back like it was yesterday.  Kudo's to everyone involved in setting this think up.  Robert, Al you guys did good!

Locating an old shipmate.

Does anyone recall a tall AT in the early 80's? His name was Steve, but I can't recall his last name.Also, I'm trying to locate an AE, Joey Martinez, if anyone knows how to contact him. He was in VA85 in the late 70's- early 80's.Any help would be much appreciated.
