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.
Great time on gilmore was very good.time to be onboard 77 78 79 pipe shop we helped keep the subs under thanks for some good years guys .Had many a good times in beer hall on beach and on the Gilmore
Deck, BIG WILLIE.
79-THE END. Remembering when the president got shot. Floated around for days on alert.
Swim call.
Our XO, good man.
Was on bouy pary, was cold rain, and windy. Will never forget.
Served on the Gilmore from 72-74 in the Shipfitter Shop 11A.. From Key West to the yards and La Madd
Served on Gilmore 1954 1957
Am sending this for my husband due to his failing eyesight. Tim (nickname)MM3 is a planker on the Cunningham 1944-46. Ship was at Okinawa when both atomic bombs were dropped. He is now 93 yrs. old, still is able to cut the grass, and is amazing with other chores in maintaining the yard, etc. In August we will be heading toward 73 years married, two sons, two grandchildren, four great grandchildren. Life has blessed us greatly. The Cunningham was a great ship and I spent most of my time aboard her in the Engine Room.
I was wondering if anyone on with me from R-1 Division. I was ship fitter second class and would love connecting with some from the years 58 to 60 on the Gilmore. Started in Key West and ended in Charleston SC. Please email me if there is a reunion or a gathering of these guys. Bill
I remember the day our XO was killed on the stern of the ship when a 6 inch mooring line snapped under extreme pressure and it hit him as he stood on the stern of the ship. It was very sad because he was a people person and talked with anyone and listened to his crew. It was a very very sad day and I still remember the funeral for him.
