Ashore

Ron Hauser, 2nd from right. Ron replaced me as the Bunker-Ramo rep when I left the ship in March of 1973. Great guy with a finely tuned and warped sense of humor. To the left of Ron, Steve Blake. To the right, Karweik?

Ron Smolinski and Ron Hauser

As we pull into Yokusuka. Both great guys, great shipmates, and great travelling partners.
