At random: "I don't know why we have to be down here on this hold down exercise(at the 60th hour). Hell, I went through this on the Thresher (SS 200) during WW ll with a Nip Sea Going Tug hooked onto our screw guards, trying to lift our butts out of the water. They didn't get us then, and these Tin Cans (ours) ain't going to get us now." -- "Hambone" Hamilton SD1 (SS). "Hambone" made 13 war patrols on USS Remora, SS-487, uttered these words in July 1957 during a hold down exercise off Kobe Japan.

Thanks Tim.

John is a Flasher sailor so I will be pulling extra hard for a fellow "Pervert of the Pacific"

That's terrible news. John and I were shipmates on Buffalo. Prayers are on their way.

I was standing in the hallway not too far from the Vendor/Hospitality Room when one of our Bergall wives came in and told Pat Householder what had happened. We all took off like a shot...I have not heard anything since they updated us at the Welcome Aboard gathering. Lots of good thoughts and prayers are going his way.

Yeah, he relieved Lyle Halvorsen as Bull Nuke.

He's on my prayer list now, too.
