While serving on the

USS Fulton (AS-11), in

Connecticut, a fellow

sailor and I were top-

side. He leaned over

the railing and opened

his mouth to say some-

thing. As he did, his

uppers fell out and

sank to the bottom

of the Thames River.

He didn’t seem too

bothered, though.

“That’s OK,” he said.

“My serial number’s

engraved on them.”

When my daughter had

her baby, I flew down

to the Naval Air Station

in Kingsville, Texas,

where her husband

was stationed, to help.

My first job was to fi-

gure out why there was

no hot water. I found

the water heater and

soon discovered the

problem—it was set too

low. So, I raised it. My

daughter was so im-

pressed, she bragged

to her husband that I’d

fixed the water heater.

“Well, I don’t know

anything about water

heaters,” he said. “I’m a

jet-engine mechanic.”
