Comments:
I  had the honor or working for two superb Supply Officers Captains Willam Perry and Bill Pointer. I also had the pleasure of working for Captain Bill Barnes (Ass't SUPPO). I worked for two Commanding Officers, Captain ES Little (the most consummate gentleman to wear the uniform of a Naval Officer) and ADMIRAL Frank (Skip) Bowman (the single most brilliant Naval Officer I ever met). I qualified both SWSCO and SWO (Surface Warfare Officer) onboard USS HOLLAND (AS 32). Prior to my arrival onboard, I qualified Submarines (SCO) onboard USS NATHAN HALE SSBN 623. After my departure, I attended NPS, Monterey and qualified Aviation Supply Officer (ASO) onbaord USS GEORGE WASHINGTON CVN 73. My most memorable experience onboard HOLLAND was working with SKCS Hank Boudreau, the finest enlisted sailor with whom I met in my entire career and who has remained a lifetime friend and correspondent! I attribute most of my later successes in the Navy to these fine men with whom I had the honor of serving!

Comments:
I'm signing this for my dad, who passed away in October '12. I'm trying to track down any of his old shipmates, but I'm short on information. I have a picture labeled "McGilvrey Coder Fox Shafer Minor New Sandy" and the background is apparently an engine room. Dad didn't tell many stories about his Navy days, so I don't have much to go on. 

Anyway, if anyone knew Kim Horton and would care to share (even if it's less than stellar), please send me an email-- schroe29 (at) uwosh (dot) edu.

Thanks much.
