Howdy All,? This all brings back some memories,? I was stationed at the Naval
Radio Station on Oahu in 1955 and I was hitching a ride to the beach when a
fellow sailor picked me up in about a 53, or 54 Pontiac, He had radios from the
steering wheel to the passenger door, It was all chrome, I suspect maybe Gonset
Gear.? He was a CT stationed on the same base, they had their own bldg.? I got
my ticket about 5 years later. been doing mobile every since.
since this is a Ten Tec group,? I do have a 509/405 station

Hi Ron, Sounds like you were a Spook aka CT in the Navy.
I was just a Tin Can sailor but had a friend that was a CT. He was my RCPO
in boot camp but kept up with him for awhile. Eventually lost track of him.
Time window was early 62 to about 68. The last thing I heard about him was
the ship he served in had something close to a mutiny somewhere in the
Pacific. I happened to read about it in some news magazine and his name was
mentioned as one of the guys who helped stop it. I only heard about it one
time and then I think there was a lid put on it. His name was Frank T
Feeney. One other guy I knew was a CT named Wally Flanagan, I went to high
school with him.
I am curious if you ever heard about the incident I mentioned?
