Hello Richard.

01 Sep 00 11:03, you wrote to me:

 RW>> Did you ever get in contact with Wayne Green while he was on WWII
 RW>> submarine duty?

 RB> No.  I was too young for WWII by a few years.  I spent 2« years in
 RB> the USNR in the 40's, though.

I was a 1940s pre-war baby, so all of this is interesting to me. I
remember my dad going off to war in 45.

 RB> My brother, Frank Brumbaugh, (J. Frank Brumbaugh), W4LJD, is s fan of
 RB> his.  He has written many articles for 73 magazine, for PAY, hi.

I've been a fan of his too.  He's one smart cookie.

 RB> He began WWII as a paratrooper jumping in Normandy.  He may have
 RB> known Wayne back then.  I'll ask him if I can think about it. I think
 RB> one was published just this year.  He has had many calls since the
 RB> '40's, including XAFQ Trieste Free State after the war.  I don't have
 RB> one of his QSL cards to look at, but he moved around a lot and had to
 RB> get different call letters back then.

That would be similar to my uncle. Started out late in the war, then
afterwards he made a career of it, stationed in all those weird places
from Formosa to Iran and ending up in the Pentagon.

 RB> He just moved back to Bradenton FL last year.

I think that's where my uncle retired to.

 RB> He'd been living in Puerto Rico for a long time.  That last huricane
 RB> about did him in.  He had an upstairs apt over a bar that lost its'
 RB> roof.  He lost 2 mills, plus everything made from paper.

He's not out of the woods in Brandonton.  Those hurricanes go there too.

 RB> He's not into computers, unfortunately, but I maintain "cell phone"
 RB> contact with him regularly.  Free nationwide LD, hi, besides being
 RB> retired from Ma Bell and get $30.00/month free LD. And you know?????
 RB> I never use hardly any of it ;-(( Later

That's a shame, although, how much is there to talk about every month that
would warrant spending that much time on the phone?  I spend an hour about
once a month with my folks and that's good until the next month.
