E-Mail sent August 12, 2013: I attended HHS for only a couple of months in my Senior year, 1960, so I did not get in the yearbook. I AM in the River Dell yearbook for that year...LOL I also spend 3 years at Don Bosco Prep in Ramsey. My family lived at 331 Lookout Ave and remained there until 1972. In 1961, I enlisted in the NAVY, ultimately serving for 6 years active duty. My first duty was aboard an ASSAULT TROOP TRANSPORT USS ROCKBRIDGE - APA 228 for a period of 6 months before entering ELECTRONICS TECHNICIAN School.
