Favorite Memory The Dagg Brothers: The day I came aboard, on of the Dragg brothers was on the after<br />

brow and signed me aboard, gave me directions to the office and to the berthing<br />

compartment. As I was on my way to the berthing compartment to stow my sea bag, I<br />

passed the guy who h<strong>ad</strong> just signed me aboard only now he was in dungarees inste<strong>ad</strong> of<br />

his undress blues and coming from the direction I was going. I immediately knew that<br />

this guy and the one on watch must be twins, but h<strong>ad</strong> never encountered the situation<br />

before and thought it was quite funny.<br />

Worst Memory The day I was transferred off of the Bryce Canyon, I h<strong>ad</strong> been aboard for four years and<br />

h<strong>ad</strong> gotten to know most of the men on board and h<strong>ad</strong> become friends with many of them<br />

and knew that I would not e seeing most of them again.<br />

Special Comments I'd like to hear by email from anyone who was stationed on board the USS BRYCE<br />

CANYON between 3 August 1962 and 17 January 1966. I started out in the Supply<br />

office as a ship service man, worked in the main GSK and in the other supply areas.<br />

H<strong>ad</strong> a run in with the mustang lieutenant running the supply department and ended up<br />

working mess cooking for nine months straight. He was requested to retire and I was<br />

relieved from mess cooking and sent to the repair office as a Draftsman. I moved to<br />

Las Vegas and ran into a guy who h<strong>ad</strong> worked TAD in the repair office as a<br />

Draftsman when I went to work for the Las Vegas Valley Water District as a<br />

Draftsman in 1978.
