Coming Soon
Hello to Boss Skinner, Region Presidents, Patched members, prospects and support.
Many of you don’t know me. I’m from western Pennsylvania, I was U S Navy I was aboard the USS Warrington DD 843 we were top gun on the line in Vietnam Our guns fired day and night, but on maneuvers one day checking on a suspicious cargo ship as we closed in we ran over several mines. We were then towed to Subic Bay Philippines for dry dock the ship was in bad shape several very large holes so she was stricken from the rolls of the US Navy. What an awesome crew we had very close knit. We all went home for 30 days awaited new orders mine sent me back to Vietnam to meet a brand new destroyer escort USS Paul DE 1080 stayed in Nam til April 1973 total time was 11 months there.
I was an Architectural designer for 30 years, then took a job with the state for the Bureau of Construction retired in 2016. I’m married 44 years and have 3 children And now 5 grandchildren. My wife and I are empty nesters now, oh yeah! Just a little about me.
Ok enough of that.
I hope this finds all in good health and living life to the fullest. Looking forward to meeting everyone in person.
