Hi Robert
Thanks for reminding me. I served on the U.S.C.G.Cutter Spencer, out
of Base St. George, Staten Island, NYC. !962-64.
New York City...hell of a town. I learned to appreciate just what
Ole' Man Sea could do, on our North Atlantic patrols in the winter.
Scary as hell sometimes but I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
