john.jpg (9310 bytes) I left the Power in June '66 and finished my enlistment on board Diodon SS-349 home-ported in San Diego. I put down roots in Imperial Beach, CA (the most southwesterly city) where in September of '68 I began a 28 year public safety career (firefighter to chief '68 to '81 then public safety director from '82 to '96). I have three adult childen: Dan, 36 is an attorney  Steven, 33 is a fourth year medical student and Marnelle, 34 lives in Toronto and is the mother of our only grandchild.

My wife Karen is Canadian and we recently relocated to a home on Lake Nipissing in North Bay, Ontario where part of the year I can "walk on water". We enjoy retirement and the leisurely pace of Northern Ontario plus it's only a four hour drive to visit our grand-daughter, Beau.

I've stayed in touch with Aubrey Barras through the years and it would be nice to know "what's up" with other ship-mates.
