After Boot Camp in San Diego, I was assigned to a destroyer out of Long
Beach. Did some time on a Destroyer Escort and was later assigned to the
Kearsarge, CVS-33. Ran the 9 man Print Shop, as a third class petty officer,
in lieu of the First Class who was seldom there. Tried to do most of the
work myself while training the shop members for advancement. After release
from Kearsarge, I returned to my parent Reserve Center where I was an Instructor,
Master at Arms, worked a few years as a Recruiter and ultimately advanced
to Chief Petty Oficer. I was transferred to U.S.S. Sperry, a Submarine
Repair Detachment where I was initially assigned as a Division Officer,
PQS Instructor, Damage Control Instructor, Small Arms Instructor and ultimately,
Chief of the Boat. The Unit became the Dixon Detachment when the Sperry
was decomissioned. I retired in February, 1989. I was General Manager of
the Independent Journal Newspapers in Santa Monica, California until they
closed down in November of 2004. Am now retired and very active with the
Los Angeles National Cemetery in Westwood and the Freemasons. Still working
privately as a freelance Lithographer. I have been putting out the Camarillo,
California phone book for over 20 years and publish my Lodge's monthly
bulletin for the last 14 years.
