    Enjoyed seeing the 1962 footage. That was the second trip to WES-PAC aboard the Calvert for me. While in Kobe, Japan on shore patrol duty I had my jaw broken and Calvert’s dentist wired it shut for 6 weeks. He said that was his first such action since “school” but he did an excellent job – thanks.

      Richard.
      I think I was on shore patrol that day, if the man who broke your jaw was a boxer who was training for the Pan Am Games and was either drunk or on something. I remember looking for your tooth because we
      thought he just knocked it out. Glad your still with us.
