Comments : Just finished reading the posts and brought back some memeories. I remember Glyfada and all the good times. I also remember some of the late nights downtown Athens. They had some bread which was sold on the street by a vendor. It was hard but it was good. I was reading about the GQ with the Russian ship close by. If I remember correctly, not sure, but I dont think that we had any of our weapons working at the time. Does anyone have any info on this. During my years on board the Vree and for several years after I was drinking rather heavy. I stopped drinking September 6, 1979 but it is hard sometimes to remember things from the drinking days. If anyone has any pictures drop me a line. I would like to get some to show my 9 grandchildren. Thanks
Notes of Interest : I became involved with law enforcement in the Navy and served two years in Key West Florida in the mid 70's in a special unit with security. We only had a small group, usually 6, from different services (Army, Coast Guard) and we investigated things that NIS didn't. I retired as Chief of Police at NAS Atlanta in Feburay 1986.
