Years Served: 1946 – 1948…I was an ET2 on the Keppler ‘46-’48. After graduating from Georgia Tech, I served ‘51-’53 as Electronics Officer on USS Rowe DD-564. Retired 1968 as LCDR. Spent 32 years as electronics engineer with Lockheed here in Atlanta.
Years Served: 1961-1962…the mighty gray was one good ship. wish I was young enough again to be back on her, I would have done things different.
Years Served: 1957 TO 1960…
Years Served: 1969-1971…Great years and a great crew.
Years Served: Dec 1956 to June 1958…Came onboard just before the South American cruise. Initially was the Main Propulsion Officer, then became the Damage Control Officer, when Bill Hinks became Engineering Officer. Served under CDR P.T. Glennon, then CDR Largess. The Med cruise in 1957 took us into the Persian Gulf, where we sure needed air conditioning. Was transferred to the Schools Command, Newport when we were in the Boston Naval Shipyard.
