Rick "Opa" Meussner... I'm sure you are getting excited about your Trek! Can you give us some details on activities occurring between San Francisco and San Diego/Chula Vista area near end of June? Possibly a chance to show our support... need a new pic.
If you're apprehensive about seeing the Zacharys send us false info. Safe travels to all.

I am living in Deerfield Beach Fl. I don't know if you guys would be interested in stopping after Sebring on the way to Key West. I am a plank owner first assigned to Vung Tau that had to live at Canto because no room on the base. I spent most of my tour at Ving Long returning to the states in December 1967
I haven't met any other Seawolves and unfortunately not able to make the up coming reunion because of doctors appointment in NY at that time.
If you guys would want o stop, I would love to say hello.

Jayna,

Michael,

I have your contact info in the "Roster".
Regards,
Rick
