Best Friends Paul Lockman, Jr. E 2/9 Randall Fiske
Best Moment A visit from my Mom and girl-friend. And then there was the time someone stopped and asked for directions to the cardiac care unit; pigeons used to fly circles over the building so we told them to locate the building with the buzzards flying overhead.
Worst Moment 4th of July 1966; most of us were not ready for the fireworks going off that night. The nurses were busy handing out drugs to keep us quiet.
Chain of Command Capt. Gail Clark,USN Chief of Neurosurgery; Commander Robert Conrad (no kidding)his favorite line was, "another victim ripped from the jaws of death by medical science."
Other Memories I spent many hours on the amputee ward because that is where most of my friends ended up. Also, women were brought in from the Playboy Club and surrounding colleges to visit with us. After the first 6 months I spent as much time as I could sneeking off to San Francisco.
