01-04-2010 -- From Ken Graber -- Ken Graber here. I would like for you to help me out, It seem like all I receive is sad news or jokes, maybe we can start a new trend. I would like to hear from some of my friends, the one or two I have(lol) and tell me whats going on with them. I know there is a lot of people out there that told me I wouldn't make 20yrs, well it has been 35 yrs since I got out. And my wife Gail and I are doing good.Tomorrow I turn 71,how about that,still playing golf high 70's low 80's.I also have a inversion table and I hang around on it every day(HoHo).
So I would like to hear from anyone I was stationed with or any body that knows me.May you all have a great 2010.

9-27-08 From Charles Erickson - Proteus Diver - We're still looking for "Smokey" Seals and Chris Brewer to round out some of our dive gang. We just met up at Fitz's fishin' camp in Oregon and had a good time. Doc couldn't make it but Pidge, Plooster, Johnson, Erickson, and Fitz were there. There was nonstop BS and sea stories seasoned with a little Capn' Morgans nectar and Seattle's famous "Scuttlebutt", not to mention lots of fresh crab. We haven't plotted our our '09 adventure yet, but would like to get in contact with these two missing orphans for the next one.
