Was wanting information about fred Huntington my grandfather. I miss him a lot. Email jogaming1234567890@gmail.com the other email my dads thanks
I was on the Black for a short time in 1959 as a Kiddy cruiser and was learning to become a radioman before going to radio school. It helped me a lot especially sleeping in emergency radio during training exersizes. The Captain was Author Murray Jr. and he was a cranky old fart and was always stealing my pencils. I knocked him down during a night operation and no lights other than infa red. He never knew who it was that did it. I really don’t remember anyone but if someone remembers me give me a holler. ironhawkranch1@yahoo.com
