Hi Jerry,
From time to time I wonder what ever happened to some of my shipmates. I see a few are members of this organization. How have you been?
I don't know if you remember me but, when we served together, I was PT2 Charles of the AI Shop. I still have a negative of some photos you shot of the Dallas-Fort Worth area flying to NAS Albany from the west coast after our 69-70 WestPac cruise. DFW Airport was just being graded for terminals and runways.
As for me, after I got out in August of 1970, I joined the Naval Reserves in January of 1971. After college I received a commission as an Intel Officer and retired as a Lieutenant Commander in 1993. I had several jobs over the years but I finally started an electronics company in 1998 and we manufacture controls and instruments primarily for the Cement, Mining and Power industries. My website is www.westecinstruments.com. I turn 65 in a couple of weeks but I enjoy working and selling this equipment and only have to answer to my wife. So retirement is not in the near future. We have 2 kids and one grandson and fly out to San Francisco about every 2 months to visit them. Better than living there.
When I used to go on Acdutra I often ran into a few guys you may remember. Commander Scruggs (by then Captain) at the Pentagon, Commander Zophy at JRB Fort Worth. He died about 10 years ago. That's all I can remember.
It would be nice to hear from you. Give me a shout at 817-637-7392 sometime or just email me at wes@westecinstruments.com.
