It seems as though we go from year to year ............ wondering if so-in-so is still around, did he stay in the Navy?
You wonder .. wonder .. and wonder some more.

You think about what happened to your LPO ... you know .... the one who always cracked the whip when your sorry  a**  went off course, as mine did quite often.

Then out of the blue you get a phone call or email and ya don't need to wonder any longer.
That is the case with George Angel RM1(SS) when he was my shipmate
