Boot Camp 1977

Ken: so sorry, shipmate, to see this news. I've thought about you over the years. You and I were at Great Lakes in Company 090 together, and I have a vivid memory of you and a funny moment. We had just been told to line up in formation outside the barracks, and we were all scrambling for our winter coats--and of course, we had our names stenciled on them. And we were grabbing anyone's and everyone's in that mad dash.

In the rush to grab the right one, we heard your distinct Maine accent ring out: "Evereah bahddaee check theah jahckets for Boulieah!" (Everybody check their jackets for Boulier!) Well, it brought us up in fits of laughter.

See you for some sea stories when I ship over, Ken. God Bless.
