IO

Navy speak for the Indian Ocean. A couple days ago I got a comment on a post from a squadronmate from back in the VQ-1/ U.S.S. Midway days, some 30 odd years ago. I remembered the name, but couldn’t put a face to it (not surprisingly because sometimes when I look at my picture from back then, I barely recognize me.) Kevin isn’t in the picture that I have posted in the Midway Gallery already, so I went up in the attic and rummaged through some boxes to find my cruise book from the Midway IO cruise in 1977. He isn’t in that one either.

I am, but you wouldn’t know it if you were looking at the book, my name was omitted. I’m the tall good looking one in the back row. 😀 I scanned the page to post the picture here and edited it to include my name.
