I was there when you arrived and I was there when you left 
(I think)

Memories of "The Dirty D" are still vivid. Most of the crew, 
including officers, I will never forget, "Netch", Ronnie Rioux, 
Mitchell, "Pappy Graham", T Torries Texas Terrible Tom,
 the Rootin' Tootin' Torpedoman,

The immortal "Razz", Stanley back in Tubes Aft, and never 
forget Walter Levander. Of the group, a few names come to 
the forefront.

I remember a fellow who lent me a jersey for comming into 
Hong Kong, because mine had tectile all over it. I think that 
his name was Jim Santos.  We were strikers at the time.

You do a nice job Jim.

It brought back a flood of memories. I wish the old boat was 
still around.  I hate to think of her as scrap. She took us a 
long way.

Take care.
