Anyone no the where about of e n 1 jacko varra was on the uss Howard w Gilmore served his time in the fire room
I was on the Gilmore from Jan 75 to Jan 77. Worked in the forward engine room Lanny White and Darryl Fields were the lpo’s. Stagnari ran after engine room. I made a couple of reunions over the ensuing years. I now live in Idaho not far from the old Nuke Power School in Arco. Not sure how many of us are left. Memories fade after so long. Be well shipmate. Fair winds and following seas. 7 bells to all.
served Marine Barracks Key West Fl. 71-72. friend was stationed on the Gilmore, boarded this ship several times to visit. always an Honor to board.
I was on the Gilmore when xo was killed.
