The "K" WAS special for me.  It was my first ship. Reported aboard Nov 17, 1969. In Subic Bay. Went into town that night---(I have YET to recover!!) Started a 4-year adventure on oilers. So many fine memories.


After I left the Navy, I worked for Hewlett-Packard for 12 years -- electronic service.
Then worked for the Berchtold Corp for over 9 years. Installed & maintained surgical lighting, camera systems and equipment booms in hospital operating rooms.
