Hi Bill,

Wanted to get TI for ETB, but got Great Lakes, the Butt Hole of the world, so cold in winter and hot and humid in summer.  But I made ETC during that school so some good from it.

Hey Dave, 
We're neighbors only 5 minutes apart. I live in Taylor Mill KY and previously 
lived in Fort Mitchell on Thompson Avenue. My best friend Don Pohlman lives in 
Cincinnati and he was on North Island NAS, San Diego in the late 50's. Don still 
complains about the "n ickel s natcher ferry" that actually charged 10 cents for 
a one- way ride from San Diego to North Island before they built the Si lver 
Strand h ighway out to Coronado. Don is an avid Naval historian and loves to get 
together with "old salts"  like you and talk nautical stuff. When I went to C 
School on TI in the Summer of 1967 I bunked with the ET B School students. I'll 
never forget the guy who bunked next to me trying to solve a complex AC circuit 
problem with his Post slide rule and not having much luck . The good old days? 

Bill

Hey Bill, 

I live in Erlanger KY and I go to the VA for some of my services.  I was on TI 
from DEC 1959 until May or June of 1960, passed through TI in 1964 on way to 
Japan.  Again in 1965 to meet The USS Compass Island EAG153.   12 years in the 
USN all in Special Projects.  Only Shore Duty was Fleet Ballistic Missile School 
teaching Navigation Aids ET's.  Cancelled that out for ETB school.

Hi Dave, 
I'm just curious to know when you were on TI. I was a member of K6NCG from May 
1965 to March 1966 and back for a 2 week C-School in early Summer of 1967. I 
don't 
remember Gina - and for that matter, no females at all - in the Ham Shack during 

my stay on TI. Sounds like I missed out! Sorry to hear about your wife. 
XYL and I spent the day on TI in June, 2004. I'm retired now in Northern KY but 
teaching part time at Cincinnati State College.

Hey Ron, 

I never knew that Gina Married the first time.  She was a pleasant woman and I 
enjoyed being with her.  We had no intimate relations, so it was just platonic 
but that makes it a good memory.  I flew oil exploration in a DC-3 in1974, I 
operated some German Computers and Navigational equipment and the Magnetometer 
as well as a gravity meter.  When the aircraft was scheduled to go to IRAN for 9 

months, I listened to the wisdom of the pilot and co-pilot who said the contract 

was always underbid and it would likely be 27-36 months.  My wife and Baby would 

have been alone, and I said no way.  I quit and finally got on with 
Seismographic Services Corporation working in Mexico.  16-18 days each month in 
Neuva Leon and then home to San Antonio for the rest.  Pay was poorly done but 
it was a job.  I got 34 years, 2 months and 14 days with my wife until she died. 

 So far I have not found a replacement.  It sucks to be alone.   

Dave

    Hi, Glenn!  I will look around for some more photos - I sent some prints to 
someone several years ago to post and 
never saw them again - either on the web site or anywhere else.  I still have 
the negatives from over 45 years ago and 
will try to find them in my old boxes of stuff.  My, how time flies when you're 
having fun!  I joined the aero club at NAS 
Alameda and received my private pilot's license in 1966; Bill (K1NIT) got brave 
and went up for a flight with me right 
after I got my license.  The San Francisco Bay area is not the best place to 
learn to fly with all the fog & clouds. 
    Anyway, to David R. - the last time I saw Gina was in May 1966, about the 
time I got my private license, but soon 
after that my time was up and I couldn't wait to head back to Oklahoma!  Never 
heard from her again but she hadn't 
remarried when I left TI at the end of May 1966.  I now live in central Texas 
with my wife of 43½ years; our two kids 
live in the Houston area.  After I worked for the feds all those years, I 
couldn't talk our son out of going to work for 
the federal governmentt as well and he works for U.S. Customs at Houston 
Intercontinental Airport! 
    Good to see some activity on this site again; that old shack on TI quickly 
became my Navy Home! 
    Ron, K5CXH
