Comments: Miss the day.
Comments: I remember the long work hours repairing the subs. I also remember the rough return cruise from Plymouth. I would like to get in touch with other guys from the motor rewind/sound shop/ic gyro/ and rubber and plastics shops from my era. Names I remember - Steve Egan, Dave Holt, John Root, Gil Larkin, Tom Meldrum, Joe Knobber, Mark Gillespy, Nate Mandering, Eddie Perry, and " Arnie ". I was diagnosed with stage 3 papillary thyroid cancer in 1990 - a type of cancer caused by exposure to ionizing radiation. My diagnosing doctor placed the start of my tumor growth in 1978. My time onboard the U.S.S.Holland is the only time I`ve ever worked around radation hazards. This has left me a puzzle. Has anyone else had a similar experience?
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: 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.
