Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. Here you will find different musings and descriptions of the various happenings in my life. Anything from political and religious opinions to fantastical writings that have absolutely nothing to do with anything important. Some days I may write about my educational adventures and others I may be writing about the rising price of gasoline, you just never know. So, if this is your cup of tea or if you are just looking for the entertainment of reading other people's thoughts, I welcome you and invite you to subscribe to my blog (look for the link in the sidebar). Thank you for your visit and please feel free to invite your friends!

LiveLeak.com – Last Moments Of The USS Belleau Wood

U.S.S. Belleau Wood LHA-3

U.S.S. Belleau Wood LHA-3

This is the ship I called home for four years while I was in Uncle Sams Canoe Club between the years of 1979 and 1983. I have many fond memories of my time on board and the many people that I came to know there. I am also looking for copies (either actual copies or scanned pages) of the first two WestPac Cruises that we took on her in 1981 and 1983. If anyone can help me out with this I would be eternally grateful. I am also looking for some old shipmates:
Luther Black
Cory Nichols
Shoesmith
T.J. Fox
Ed Heiberg
Marty Crowther
Mike Roja
P.J. Munson
Dave Kotowski
Wayne Esper
Glen Vickers
I’m sure I’ll think of others later on….
All of these served on board the U.S.S. Belleau Wood LHA-3 sometime between the years of 1979 and 1983, homeported out of San Diego, CA. If you know these people please let them know I wish to contact them and pass the contact information to me (with their permission of course) in an email or comment here. Thanks!
