What I've Been Up To: Just a note to thank John Bedford, Murry Katzen and "Sam" Samuelson for their efforts in making the 2003 reunion one to remember. The people my wife and I met, the food (the dinners on the harbor cruise and at the western barbecue and the official banquet were gourmet quality), and the variety of activities supplied a wealth of fond memories. Add to these the quiet talks with a great group of people in the hospitality room provided the icing to an outstanding four days. Robbie and I hope to make the Newport reunion so old and new contacts may be maintained.
Again, John, Murry and "Sam," thank you for a job well done.

What I've Been Up To: In an earlier message I mentioned a book I have published and was having a book signing at Miramar. I forgot to give the details on the book and how those that may want to read it can get it. The Title is CARLSON by Dave Spear, IBSN # 0-8059-6240-9, published by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc. It is in process of being nationally distributed to major bookstores, but if they are not on the shelf they should be able to order it. You can also order one directly from the publisher by calling 1-800-788-7654.

What I've Been Up To: Primarily, my wife Doris and I have a real estate business in our town of Pittsburg, California. But I'm involved in this great sonar association and I really enjoy being a part of it and watching it grow. Our next reunion (September 10-14, 2003 will be at a familiar place in San Diego, the Holiday Inn Bayside. If you haven't signed up for this gathering, you will be missing a great time with your shipmates and sonar friends. I hope to see you there.
Duty Stations: I first reported aboard USS Blue (DD-744) in October of 58, after boot camp at RTC, a short time at NAAS Brown field and Sonar "A School, all in San Diego. After Blue's 59 Westpac cruise I swapped to USS Edson (DD-946) so that I could get back to Westpac again. After that cruise, I got married, attended B school and MK 111 FCS in San Diego. Then I went aboard the USS Richard B Anderson (DD-786) making my final cruise. Later came Instructor School (late 1963) and almost three years of B School instructing at FSS Key West before I finally left the navy (nine years total time, didn't retire).

What I've Been Up To: On May 18th, NSA Director Don Richardson and NSA members Jim Latz, Mike Heiner, and myself, had a very productive meeting in Newport, RI, concerning the 2004 NSA convention. We visited the proposed hotel and discussed the various venues, meal options,and other like items with the manager. Later on, we met for brunch at the Newport Naval Base Officers Club and discussed the various duties and responsibilites involved in setting up the convention. We think we are off to a great start for 2004 and will continue to work on it over the next few months. It is our intention to have a full report ready for San Diego in September.

What I've Been Up To: I am Senior Software Engineer at Preco Electronics currently. I am still into electronics, have several patents issued to me, working on a 3rd now. I do system design, hardware and software.
I live on a ranch about 50 miles from Boise, on the South side of the Snake River, right at the end of the National Snake River Birds of Prey Raptor Area.
We raise cattle, sheep, milk goats, and what ever else finds it's way to our "ARK". We also raise Alfalfa Hay, and several gardens, the biggest of which is over 300 ft long. Needless to say, we eat good! I commute to Boise each day for work.

What I've Been Up To: Well, at age 43 (yeah...they will still take ya that old) Im now back in the Navy. Im in the Reserve, but in recent days there is really not as much of an inactive reserve as before, and we are gearing up and training very seriously.
I have been assigned to ACU1-LCU (actually an LCM unit) at Port Hueneme. Our drills are in San Diego, so we get per diem to travel there each drill, plus either Hotel or Navy BEQ for berthing. Its very interesting and challenging, and at present, until they decide how to use me, Im going thru coxswain training, learning to drive LCM boats. The 70 ft beasts are not like a sports boat, and require a smooth touch. BUT..interesting part is...even at the lower ranks, that boat is YOUR boat...your the "capt" of sorts, and its alot of responsibility. More later, when they decide how to use my sonar and / or IT skills.

Hi Folks,
There is an online petition being taken at : www.PetitionOnline.com/pfcmongo/petition.html to urge the D.O.D. to award a medal to those who served during the Cold War Era. I personally feel that we (I served 61-64) deserve some recognition for our service to our country. The Congress approved the issuance of the medal and the money is already in the budget, but D.O.D.(Sec. Rumsfeld) for some reason has decided not to do it. I would appreciate it if you would think it over,and if you agree with me,go to the site and sign the petition. You DO NOT have to be a Cold War Veteran to sign,just a citizen of the U.S.A.. Thanks, Charlie Moy..A,2/12TH..61-63 ..E,(later B) 1/16th..63-64 Big Red One . Please pass this on.

What I've Been Up To: Just checked in to see the update for 2002. Had a great mini-reunion with more DE 1043 A/S Div memebers at Don Richardson's house in Southington, CT on 14 Dec. Actively working on a Rhode Island NSA convention for 2004. (RI is preferable to Groton, CT due to hotel legal restrictions, airport access, etc.)More to follow as we get nearer to 2003 convention. Planning to attend to see what NSA memebers like in the way of conventions.
