Comments= HI Joseph;

Came across your web site. Like it very much.

One of your pictures (#9) of the USS RAMSDEN DER-382 I hav a copy of on my den wall. I'm almost postive I was a chief engineman aboard the RAMSDEN when that picture was taken. While we were working with norad running the DEW LINE in the late fifties.

I was part of decommissioning crew on RAMSDEN, then picked up the USS FALGUT DER-324 until I transfered to the staff of CORTRON5 at Pearl. The VANCE was one of our squadron all this time.

I left the CORTRON staff in Dec. 63 as a senior chief engineman for duty on the USS PIEDMONT AD-17 where I later retired (trans to flt res after 23 yr's) in 1966.
Would like to hear from any old almost shipmates.

Dave
