At Cecil, I was in the 1st Lt's division and TAD all over the place. On the Saratoga, I worked in the ready room. I was in the squadron when it deployed for the Cuban Missle Crisis and was on the Med Cruise that our Commanding Officer, CDR Clayton crashed and died. He was a great commanding officer. VF-32 was the best outfit in which I've ever worked; it was family Sat Dec 30 21:32:17 2000 , kystraycat@aol.com David L.

Brian Douglass of your unit is the son of our friends in Washington State who informed us of this site. You might be interested to know that one of your F-14's was provided to the Tillamook Naval Air Station in Tillamook, Oregon. Go to www.tillamookair.com to see your former plane. This is a great facility, and is considered one of the largest private collections in the Country. I hope some of you were able to see the Battleship New Jersey when it came through your area. This ship was formally at Bremerton, WA in the moth-ball fleet. People can follow the last journey of the New Jersey by going to www.battleship-newjersey.com. With Veterans Day approaching, the best to all of you from a former Air Force vet. Wed Nov 10 19:31:09 1999 , dalew@worldnet.att.net Martin (Marty) Goode Cdr.
