I was in Electric Shop and Engine build up during my servicewith FASRON-885. During this time FASRON-885 was closed down and it became FASRON-116. I have been looking for Glen Slick (Store Keeper) for a number of years who was a close friend. Also Mc Laughton who was a First Class Yeoman. Mac was a good friend and I sure would like to know where he is today. In 1953 I shipped out to VF-152, CAG15 where I served aboard USS Yorktown for one cruise..." [21NOV2002]

I was assigned to Crew 12 and met some of the best men I ever flew with. I stayed with Crew 12 until the squadron was transferred to NAS Brunswick, Maine. I was assigned to VP-30 where I stayed until I retired in September 1973. I would like to hear from any of my Shipmates!
