Years Served: 67-68…Served aboard the uss buck from jan 67- aug 68. I was a GM.. Looking to hear from anybody in that time frame.
Years Served: 1953-1957…Combined rating of Qm and Sm during my tour. I was primarily a signalman. Got out, married, divorced, Bachlor’s degree, married, Master’s degree, taught high school for 30 years, retired, built an RV-8 aircraft (7.5 years constructing), and fly every chance I get. Replaced Sandy Sanchez (Texas) as hemsman for general quarters, fueling along side, entering and egressing port. Have attended several ships reunions and enjoyed each one, especially the Washington, D.C. gathering. I find the memorial service recognizing deceased shipmates especially meaningful whether I served with them or not. We are a larger family than I thought. There have been no signalmen in attendance for the ‘53-’57 years. Sandy Sanchez has passed as has Kenny Lang. Puss Lowery and Gordon Dale Strader are still vertical, and I’d like to make contact with…………………
Years Served: 1956-1958…I was aboard USS BUCK from 1956 to 1958.
Years Served: 1958-1960…Went aboard as ETSN and left as ET2. At that time, knew every body on board. With Henley, RM1 and a few others, we had a great country band.
I have a cruise book from a friend who recently passed on. 1957 Buckaneers. Is there a contact for a ship association out there?
