When I was at Jouett's reunion at Seattle in 2000 or thereabouts, Don Dockery (OSCM, Ret) and I talked about Lassen's event on that 1968 WestPac cruise. It was a much nicer one to reflect on than Don's incident with Lt. Doan on that mid watch when we lost a plane and its crew to a MIG's air to air missile. I was on watch in Weapons Control that night; I'll never forget it.
I went to junion high and high school just west of Portland so it'll be good to go back there. See ya in August.
