Terry got out of the port pump room when the Catamount was decommissioned in Bremerton, Washington in 1968. (The pump room was used to pump water in and out of the ballast tanks to raise and lower the ship in the water to load and unload boats and equipment out of the wale deck) .

Thanks Terry look forward to getting more pics.

CHAT WITH A SHIPMATE

Tonight when I came home. I found my roster for all of the Catamount Crew. Low and behold there is the shipmate that was my Dad's bestfriend (Randy Staples).

I had to contact him to let him know about my dad. I really enjoyed talking to him and remembering my dad in his younger days.

Randy has also agreed to update the pictures with names, dates, and places on here.

Thanks Randy for the nice chat. You will stay in my prayers.
