Comments: I'm looking for anyone who knew my son Kenneth Brian McRae. He was a member of the crew who took the Holland from Charleston to Guam the last time. (1992) Brian passed away in 2003, from cancer caused by excessive exposure to radiation. The Navy has taken responsibility, but as a Mom, I would just like to know what happened to my son. He has a 15 year old son, and I believe he needs to know about his Dad.
Comments: Looking for HT3 Koster

Comments: I last saw the Holland when I rounded the corner of my shop and there she was, parked in Pearl Harbor on her way back to the States from Guam. I left the shop early that day and went over for a final walk through, which resulted in a short story about that stroll.
Comments: Good to see pictures of the old lady again. I thought she was gone.
Comments: Remember many times with EM1 Pepper and Gaugh (later EMCS when I made EMC(SW) on the Kalamazoo) lowering Shore Power out on the Booms at 0200 and later, and it would have to be cold, wet and rainy or snowing duing my short tour. Med-Evaced out with a blood clot in the left leg from the knee to the groin
Comments: The hours were long both at Ingalls Shipyard and in Rota. Borrowing the Chaplain's vw bus for liberty made it worth while.
