Welcome to the USS City Of Corpus Christi SSN-705 Guestbook Forum

Served aboard Buck 58 to 63..made some unforgettable friends. Some still here ,some passed on..anyone remember remember me,,email me..smims2@bellsouth.net.

After Boot Camp in San Diego, I was assigned duty on the USS Alfred A. Cunningham, DD 752 and went aboard in October 1950 and left her in March 1954. I first served in the First Division under BM Frank Burn and then transferred to the Engineering Dept. as Log Room Yeoman for the rest of my time on board. I have often thought of the time and crew members and wondered how many are still with us. I do not have personal contact with anyone other than Joe Lovelady in Arkansas who was a BM in the Forward Fire Room. If there are any one out there who would like to contact me and shoot the scuttle butt then please either call me at 713-305-8075 or e-maqil me at “mindreader65@hotmail.com” I would really love to hear from you.

I find it hard to believe I’m the only one from 4th Div from the time it was modified from 3".50 mounts to Liberty boats and vehicles in 1957. I mentioned a few friends, but there were so many. I will never forget those friends, they were like family, although I was too young to realize it back then, but I’m sure now that when you think about those days they are a vivid to you as they are to me.
