I’m hoping to connect with a shipmate from my time on the Gilmore. Alex Russin, and Mike Quinn, both worked in the oil king gang with me. My time on board was from March 1968 until July 1970. I was discharged from Key West, Fl. , the Gilmore changed home ports from Charleston, SC. to Key West in July of 1970.
