Best Friends DK3 John Needham DK2 Ron Keller - deceased DK3 Basudeo Sanicharra PN2 Mark Marino
Best Moment Going on liberty with Ron Keller. He was always after the girls but had a good time no matter what. All the exotic ports we visited.
Worst Moment Getting underway on the first day of deployment. Noooooo!!!
Other Memories Captain Unruh, captain of the USS Saratoga (85-86) was the best. I was pleased to hear that he later made admiral. As he would say, "Mighty fine!"
DK1 Lou Smith and DK1 Stevens were lifer cowards and losers. So was DK1 Debbie what's-her-name.
