Current Home Town: Albuquerque, NM
Something about Me:
Returning to San Diego from Yokusoka in late May of '63, we encountered Typhoon Polly with peak winds of 80 mph and barometer below 980 millibars.
Seas were very heavy and confused, the sky was black and our heading was needless to say, variable.
Having the midwatch as quartermaster of the watch, we noted green water hitting the bridge windows, allowing salt water to flood the bridge floor. We took a bad roll (broached?) to starboard, the clinometer reading 48 degrees. It seemed to take a long time coming back. Commander Barnes, the XO and OOD said "I probably shouldn't tell you guys this, but when we left the FRAM yards in San Diego, we were only redesigned to take a 38." Needless to say, the helmsman, the two lookouts and I all felt we had escaped Davy Jones' locker by a very small margin.

Something about Me:
Reported aboard Aggie in Feb 1967 to OI Division. OI had a great crew: Pete Spongberg, Manzy Boatright, Bob Stedham, Byron Hoffman, Mac Ewing, Mel Provost, Dwight Brown, Don Baldwin, and Chief Ryder.
Does anyone knows whereabouts of Byron Hoffman, Mike Fallentine or Alvin Hart. Mike, Byron, and I shared a house on Pacific Beach after the '67 WestPac.
Alvin Hart used to crash at our place. He got us into trouble with the MC gang Pall Bearers when he started dating one of their women at the Cave Bar.
Agerholm deployed in Dec 1968 to WestPac again returning Aug 1969. I took 2 weeks leave in Australia to visit my Grandmother, Aunt, Uncle, and cousins in Perth Western Australia.
I met the ship in Aukland NZ and headed back to San Diego. I mustered out of the Navy back to civilian life in Chicago two weeks after we arrived back in SD.
