I remember in the engine room in Scotland when Bradshaw had forgot to purge the boilers long enough and went to re-lite and it blew the stack out in the upper stage and rocked the entire ship, Everyone thought we had either dropped a missle or a nuke was readyto blow!

Comments:
The navy was good for me. From Great Lakes, San Diego, Scotland, and Guam. Still in touch with some and thinking of others. A scottish friend gave me a poster of the area after we (ship&drydock) left, still beautiful just not the same, looks warmer than I remember. Would enjoy hearing from others. Just had a thought-the movie locker and main control watch. Liberty boats and oh yes the pier, and the shack. And many more.

I enjoyed my time in Spain and Charleston. I bought a Bultaco motorcycle in spain and then shipped it back onboard the Holland when we came to Charleston. I remember when we were getting ready to come back to the states and a cable broke on one of the cranes and we dropped a missle and also the time when a Tug sank in Rota. I went Back to Spain in 2002 but didn't make it to Rota but I did get to Sevilla. I still love Spain and the people there.

It's been a long time and I don't remember names very well, but Ray Stachelek jogged my memory to some extent.  I'll try to answer e-mails from any shipmates at the time.  Maybe I fixed your watch one time!
