Years Served: 1961 & 62…I was on the sonar stack when we gained contact with B59. He tried tricking us sitting still, I was ordered to send by CW key: India-Delta-Kelo-Alpha with no response Gunners Mate Lee Boyer was ordered to drop hand grenades (3) over the side. I detected Doppler, he was on the way up, soon radar had him on the surface.
Years Served: 1956 to 1959 Had a great time with the shipmates.…Have been to ten Waller reunions and had a ball at every one.
Years Served: 1949-1953…3rd Class Petty Class Officer on the DDE-466 Waller
Years Served: 1965-1967…I was a MM2 on the Waller. I also remember running aground in the Med Dec. 1966 about a week before Christmas.
Years Served: 1961-63…Served as CIC Officer/ASW Air Control Officer during Cuban Missile Crisis and subsequent blockade. Great thrill in forcing Russian sub to the surface and escorting him away from the area. Spent a LOT of time in GITMO and environs
