Comments: Hello again Tom and gang. Haven't been able to attend a reunion since Meterie, however, I hope to make the next one. I have such great memories from the Meterie reunion and think of the nice people I met there. I do wish I could find at least one sonarman that I served with but so far-----no luck. I'm sitting here laughing at the comment made to me by Gene in Meterie, he said, "Joe, it was nice of you to bring your daughter to the reunion" (haha, it was my girlfriend) Hope I'm finding everyone healthy and happy and I shall check back with you soon. Anyone having any ideas of finding any sonarmen aboard in 1964 or 65 I would be grateful for any help.

Comments: Just found this great website. We always kept Pepco in the Sonar room while shelling in Wonson Harbor, Korea. I think I remember well what happened to him. We were in port and was kidnapped I'm sure. Also we took a lot of kidding from the other DD's in squadron for getting hit in the rear end while running like hell.
