Hey Sam! How the hell are you? I was poking around the internet, found this site, saw your name and joined. It's been a long time since I last saw you. As I recall, it was on Shortledge Rd. on Penn State's Main Campus way back in '77. If you get this, let me know. I'll be watching. Kevin Mundy (AMH2) Med Cruise '76
Sam: Great to see you posted on the website! You and I have fond memories of 149299. I flew more that half of my Vigi hours in that bird. It was always up and had full systems. Must have been due to your plane captain skills. Mike Madden
Sam: Great to hear from you and to hear that your son followed in Dad's foot steps in the Navy, and especially Naval Aviation. I will stay in touch and hope to see you, and meet your family, soon. R/ Tim
"Hello Tim. Don't know if you remember me but I launched you many times.. My favorite memory of you is your challenge to Jay Shower in Fallon (74) regarding your being immune to getting sick. As I recall, he tried but failed.
Blessings-
AMH-2 Sam…"
"Terry- you are too kind. I wish it were so. I am about 2 people nowadays! Thanks for checking in on the photo. Your photo looks like Oceana or Fallon. You guys were back in Albany in March of 73, returning from Forrestal. That's when I joined up…"
"Thanks Skipper! She was my baby for sure. And she was always up it seemed. I miss her, and her times, a great deal. Thank you for the reconnect. Take care, lets stay in touch. V/R Sam"
"Hi Mr. Baker. Nice to see you have joined the group. The next best thing to being able to shoot and recover one more time is to reconnect and remember.Like our trip to Sig, where my oldest son (a navy pilot) is currently stationed. Grandchildren!…"
