Everything he did while serving in the U.S. Navy was very interesting. His career alone could fill a book. He did a great job and loved what he did.
In an up coming book, "Submarine Stories of the 20th Century," he shares a story of when he served on the USS Snapper and the USS Sea Fox. He served on four other boats.
