1968 I was detached to the Sacramento while in HC-3, we were on our way to Viet Nam when we were, detoured to the coast of Korea along with the Enterprise. Thats right Korea, remember the Pueblo, we didn t stay long and did go to Vietnam, where we were exposed to AO, gave me Parkinsons, yuk, I flew in the h-46s and made it to various ships just off the coast, delivering supplies via vert reps. Hello to any who served with me, if alive, as we are old men now!! FRED NIELSEN ADR2
