From Ian Peterson:
I am back at sea on a man-of-war again. The landlubbers mind cannot begin to comprehend the joy in a gobs heart of returning to sea after an extended abscence. I once again walk on moving steel decks. I hear and speak my native language, and the snipes around me understand. I’m immersed in the extreme heat of a boiler room. The whine of turbines, noisy pumps, and water hammers ring in my ears. Bells and a bosun’s pipe regulate my day and inform me of events. I am gently rocked to sleep by the ocean waves. Pinochle in the goat locker while “enjoying” midrats is in order. The evening is spent on the fantail sitting on a cleat in silent contemplation.
SHIP: USS Pelelieu, LHA-5
I reported onboard in Pearl Harbor. The ship is homeported in San Diego and has just came off a six month deployment in the Persian Gulf. My tour will be short, about 3 months. I have relieved the Master Chief of Engineering and will be taking the ship through a short yard overhaul. This allows him some R&R, and time to go to school. After the yard period and demonstration of satisfactory repairs, I go back home. Not much time at sea, but hey, better than nothing.

2006 Spring Golf – McCarten going to the wolves at InternationaL Wolf Center in Ely
Photos from the Class of ’67 spring golf trip to Northern Minnesota –
Paul McCarten, Steve Colby, Tom Hollingsworth and Al Grundei
At the International Wolf Center in Ely, we have a photo of Wolves chasing an attorney – who do we cheer for? On 06-06-06, Steve Colby shot a 6 on hole 6! (And he may have even used a 6 iron! AND … no it was not a par 3 – it was a par 5!) On the 275 yard 13th hole (elevated green – all carry) Tom Hollingsworth drove to within 8 feet of the pin. We dined at the Burntside Lodge near Ely, which was a great find > Walleye ala Burntside, risotta, etc VS hot dogs & chips on earlier trips!
