"D.R." was a MM1(SS), auxiliarymen, who repoerted to Archerfish (AGSS-311) from Remora (SS-487) on 11/9/1963. He transferred to ComSubRon ONE on 12/1/1966. I always looked forward to visiting with him at our Archerfish reunions, as he sure could tell neat sea stories. Sailor rest your oar... save me a rack in the alley! |
