High line detail with the Myles C. Fox A little help from the Royal Navy, I believe someone had appendicitis attack, anybody know this person hangin’ in the basket? Bill Paige and Steve Shanck (sp) coolin” off in the after engine room. Shellback day, I think that might be ole Pat Keating with the smudged face after kissing the “ Royal Baby” After engine room, “ Motor City Kid” and “ The Rat Man” what a pair to draw to. But they kept you entertained. Motor City could play anything on the harmonica and Rat Man could make the worst situation seem funny. Someone gets a ride from the Royal Navy. I believe it was a comrade that had an appendicitis attack. Kenya, Africa, just got back from a little safari trip. Only person I remember here is MM1 Roger Knighten, the guy with the camera NVA getting a taste of the old 5”- 38’s (coast of Viet Nam) Coast of Viet Nam. USS Preble lost the load and was headed for un-friendly waters. Leaving Hong Kong, I’m out of uniform, but I had never got to do a top-side sea and anchor detail. I was always on the throttles down in the after engine room. A little entertainment from a snake charmer his cobra and mongoose.

I reckon a few of you out there remember "The Top of the Hill" Subic Bay in May 1972 - Bob Keas and I watched the USS Higbee being towed in after being hit by a Mig After engine room: Everybody loved these evaporators - Ha Ha. Anyone out there remember the name of this handsome young sailor? Any shipmates out there in cyberspace recognize these three sailors? Christmas and New Years in Newport, RI Boston, MA -- Bud Keating and I just before going into dry dock Boston "Around the World on the Charlie P."
