Dorian Halverson, John Rose and I joined the Naval Air on the "Buddy" program 1 week after graduation in 1964. We went to Boot Camp in Mephis,Tennessee then went our Separate ways. John stayed in the Mephis School, Dorian in Parachute school in New Jersey and I went to Electonics School in Jacksonville, Florida. I remember when Dorian as an undercover cop was shot and killed and I spoke to John months before he passed as Diabetes took him a little at a time. I still remember them from boot camp 52 years later. We had good times.
In Memory, Steve Lewis
