I served as the corpsman with Doc Dooley from 73 to 75. I actually was able to send and receive a message back from Doc Dooley due to this site. I look forward to any contact from my shipmates. I'm still in medicine and have been since my discharge in 75. Look forward to hearing from folks from a time in my life that I shall always hold dear. |

Hi -- I was aboard from April 72 until January 76. I'd probably recognize you if I saw you (or maybe a picture of you 30 years ago). I was in R Division. Hope you can make the next reunion. |

Re: STATIONED ON (DDG-22) FROM 1972 TO 1975
Art Hanson and Dan Concepcion, two I remember with good thoughts. Maybe if we had pic's of those days we would all remember more. They were great times. I was an IC3 with Chief Bence, Rick Daniels, Roger Davis, Bill Jefferies, Lou Valenzuela and Marty Louderback. Like you said, great memories with a few bad days here and there. But the best time of my life. I still hear from EM3 Steve Buono once in a while and got an email from EM3 Carl Smith a while back.
