At random: In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....It is of utmost pride to me to have met these men, those lords that I salute, praise and admire. - Winston Churchill on Clearance Divers September 1944

On Oct 8, 1963, I left TI with a pocket full of cash, a DD214 and a lot of dreams, a few of which came true. Those 4 years in the Navy were a life changing experience and I look back at them with gratitude.

That same date I was in my senior year of high school. I would join the Navy the next June.
