Old 2010 e-mail to Doc:

Bill Masterson: Doc great to hear from you. You sewed up my finger from the whale boat ops. I was on watch when the BRIT jet crashed 100 yards from us in Subic Bay. I was taking reading on the bridge with my bad hand. I called the falling jet and parachuting pilot in to the quarter deck before it hit.

THE WALRUS (Bill Gohde): THIS MESSAGE IS FOR ALL 1964/1968 CREW MEMBERS……REMEMBER THE AFT BOSUNS LOCKER AND THE NINER WHO PLAYED THE CONGO DRUMS?  GUESSING YET?….WELL ANYWAY, WITH THE HELP OF OUR VERY OWN GUEST BOOK, I FINALLY FOUND AND SPOKE WITH HIM……..WHAT A DAY.. STILL GUESSING?……2ND DIV…DAVID ANDERSON SHOULD KNOW, DOC SHOULD KNOW, BOBBY HERRIN…STILL GUESSING?……WELL ITS MY PLEASURE TO SAY HELLO TO OUR BILL MASTERSON, OUR GOOD FRIEND AND SHIPMATE…..THANKS DOC.

Doc: I remember Bill as being a finalist in the beard contest. He also had a clean medical record unlike some of you.
