    Hi Art...This is Ensign Kenny Fields, now Commander, Retired. I was your B-N when you and I trained as an A-3 crew together at the RAG in Sanford back in 1964. Lost track of you but just today read about your exploits during Vietnam, and I'm very proud to have flown with you, Art.... After two Med cruises as an A-3 BN, I got my Navy wings as a pilot in 1967 and then received orders to the first A-7 squadron (VA-82) on the east coast. Two combat cruises to WestPac quickly followed that...1968 aboard America and the second one aboard Coral Sea, 1969-1970. I was shot down in 1968 and later wrote a book about that, 'The Rescue of Streetcar 304'. My email is streetcar304@gmail.com
