Comments : My life has changed a lot lately after my wife passed away. I am doing just fine! 
I have not been able to connect with any shipmate that I knew well and served with from 1957-1961. A bit dissappointed!

I was chosen to color paint the cast bronze "Dennis the Menace" cast brass emblems about 54-55.  After I painted them, they were coated with marine clear varnish for weather proofing.  I wonder where they are now?
