    The Good Old Days

    On this day 74 years ago, I was a Radarman on a picket cruiser finishing up gunnery practice (AA & Shore bombardment) off Calebra, an island off Cuba. From there we were scheduled to proceed to the Panama Canal to join the Pacific Fleet in the invasion of Japanicon. After Paul Tibbits in the Enola Gay and Maj. Sweeny in Bock's car visited Japan (Hiroshima and Nagasaki) the trip was deemed unnecessary and we we were diverted back to Europe.
