| A Silhouette of one of the three amigos. Which One is this? | Well, he's one of these two. |
 |
 |
| And
he's not this guy. This guy is Terry. He was a GSE
(Gas Turbine
Systems Electrician). Terry was also a very smart guy and
liked Lincolns.. He bought an early 1980's jet
black Lincoln Continental whose electrical system fried.
He fixed it
and put it all back together himeself. Heard he went to work
for
a book binding company after he got out, and got religion too. |
He's
this guy, my friend Mike.
Prior to the USN, Mike worked at one of the now defunct
Airlines. I forget where he actually hailed from, but Paso
Robles
is now his home. |

 |
| Dennis
was also a pretty good barber. The ship's barbers were not
so good. Here we have pictured Dennis giving Jeff Meyers a haircut in the engineering space. |
Dave,
pictured in
the fore front was from Tomahawk, Wisconsin. He was a very easy guy to get along with and had a good sense of humor. I don't know what became of him. The guy in the back was a Hull Technician (welder). Jim, I think. He use to borrowed large sums of money from me prior to a pot call and always paid back with a nice amount of interest. |
 |
 |
| Dave,
one of the other Three Amigos was my first real
introduction to life aboard the Paul F. Foster. I think he
signed
up for three years and was at the end of his second year when I met him. |
This
is me in
Australia holding a Blue Tongued skink I found on the beach.
Australia was a lot of fun. We were there for the
Australia
75th Naval Anniversary. Went from Perth, on down south and up
to
Sydney for the celebration. |
 |
 |
| Jim
was an electrician and
a very good pool player. He
probably could have made a living at it. In Australia he
regularly
beat the Australians at snooker, which made for some rather tense
moments at times. Sleeping was a popular past time. Never seemed to get quite enough of that. |
This is another Jim, who was kind enough to pose inside the module of an Allison 501K17. He was a GSE and I think he re-enlisted. |
 |
 |
| Halloween. Need I say more? | Me, standing in front of the main reduction gear with one of the pinion covers lifted off. This is from a group of photos labeled 'Reduction Gear Fiasco'. I don't really remember what the fiasco was, but to be pulling covers off, it must have been serious. |
 |
 |
| As I said....... | You never could quite get enough sleep. |
 |
 |
| It could get pretty boring underway. | A great time to play with camera filters. |
