| Great Sage of the Sea Posts: 715 Location: Conway, NH | Subject: RE: Saturday Obits I met Jack Farris when I reported aboard Puffer in '71. We went to the yard in '73 and in '74 he became a detailer. Then he detailed himself back to the Puffer in '78, it was back in the yard. He later became Puffer's COB. | ||
