Make to Japan every other year or so to visit my in-laws and usually make it down to the Yokosuka Naval Base just to visit. Got lucky my last trip and had lunch with friend Ed Helmuthfrom the Midway.
If you are ever out in San Diego, go tour the USS Midway or as she is known now, the "San Diego Aircraft carriier museum", she was my last ship. Both the USS Worden and USS Reeves were sunk as targets in exercises.

1/2 PINT CHERRY BRANDY

1 COKE
1 ORANGE SODA
