Great to hear from you and you are right...it is good to still be here. The names you mentioned brought back a lot of good memories. I retired from the Navy in 1999 and if I'm not mistaken Jim Bolin retired either just before or right after I did. He was the maintenance chief in VP-30 at NAS Jacksonville, FL and the last I heard from him (a few years ago) he was still in that area. The other guys you mentioned I have not heard from at all. I am retiring from my current job in May and we are moving to our place in east TN and I can't wait.
