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.”
