Years Served: 1970 – 1973…Served as ETN2 with some of you. Enjoyed the two week training cruises. I remember when the engines died during the start of transiting the Cape Cod canal. Remember going aground on the sand bar? I have (somewhere) some movies I took on board. I will try to get them converted to digital. Where can I upload them to?
Years Served: 1970 – 72…Reiired from being Athletic Director and Swimming Coach after 35 years at Weston HS last summer. Still living in the greater Boston area.
Years Served: 65-68…They were fun times, even though it was 144 degrees in the Aft Boiler room, while sitting off the coast of Cuba, but Liberty in San Juan made up for it. Sleeping on deck and chillin’ on the fan tail was great, hated Norfolk Virginia though, that town should be wiped off the map. REMEMBER TO VOTE DEMOCRAT IN NOVEMBER!
Years Served: 1970 – 1972…The Harlan R Dixon was my first ship after A school where they tried to teach me to be a Quartermaster. Of course, after 8 weeks as a mess cook when I reported for duty on the ship, I quickly forgot most of what they were trying to teach me. :) I am the author of 34 books and have worked as a ghostwriter on numerous projects. I am also the Founder of I Love To Write Day, a grassroots campaign I launched in 2002 to have people of all ages practice writing every November 15. Visit www.ilovetowriteday.org to learn more.

Years Served: 1970-1972…I was on board the Harlan R. as a Shipfitter 3rd class! I remember the time we ran aground at Sandwich, Ma. We listed side ways about 30 degrees and leaning more!Wow what an experience! With no air conditioning hated to go to hot places like Florida or Gitmo etc. A Special hello to Chief Sam Smalledge EMC Paul McIntyre DC3Ken Cornell SF3**to mention a few guys! Serving aboard the Harlan R. Dickson was good duty! Glad it’s over! Regards to all that served from 70-72 !
