Special Comments I served a few months in late 1950, fresh out of Sonar School, on the USS PRAIRIE,<br />
AD-15; then about one year on the USS H E HUBBARD, DD-784, in waters off<br />
Korea, before transferring to the USS BRYCE CANYON (AD-<strong>36</strong>). About 5 years<br />
ago I visited the Bryce Canyon National Park and signed the USS Bryce Canyon book<br />
at the visitor's center.<br />
