Years Served: 1960 – 1962… Just dropped in to say Hi to all the guys I served with on the Saufley. Don’t know how many are still around or that remember me. I was in the Sonar Gang. Grady & Butler were the 1st & 2nd Class leaders when I first got on. Then Smiley was our leader for awhile before Schierenbech? took over. I got out in August of 1962. Enjoyed most of my time on the ship. It was a great expirience and time in my life. Some other names I remember: Stuart, Ames, Vuciznic, Sanderson, and MacIntyer, for a few. A lot of other names escape me now, but I still can see their faces. I’d be happy to hear from any of you who remember me.

Served on board 1954-1956 as radioman during which time the USS Saufley was EDDE 465 home port Keywest Fl.
