Hello Richard.

RW>> Did you ever get in contact with Wayne Green while he was on WWII
RW>> submarine duty?
RB> No. I was too young for WWII by a few years. I spent 2� years in
RB> the USNR in the 40's, though.
I was a 1940s pre-war baby, so all of this is interesting to me. I
remember my dad going off to war in 45.
RB> My brother, Frank Brumbaugh, (J. Frank Brumbaugh), W4LJD, is s fan of
RB> his. He has written many articles for 73 magazine, for PAY, hi.
I've been a fan of his too. He's one smart cookie.
RB> He began WWII as a paratrooper jumping in Normandy. He may have
RB> known Wayne back then. I'll ask him if I can think about it. I think
RB> one was published just this year. He has had many calls since the
RB> '40's, including XAFQ Trieste Free State after the war. I don't have
RB> one of his QSL cards to look at, but he moved around a lot and had to
RB> get different call letters back then.
That would be similar to my uncle. Started out late in the war, then
afterwards he made a career of it, stationed in all those weird places
from Formosa to Iran and ending up in the Pentagon.
RB> He just moved back to Bradenton FL last year.
I think that's where my uncle retired to.
RB> He'd been living in Puerto Rico for a long time. That last huricane
RB> about did him in. He had an upstairs apt over a bar that lost its'
RB> roof. He lost 2 mills, plus everything made from paper.
He's not out of the woods in Brandonton. Those hurricanes go there too.
RB> He's not into computers, unfortunately, but I maintain "cell phone"
RB> contact with him regularly. Free nationwide LD, hi, besides being
RB> retired from Ma Bell and get $30.00/month free LD. And you know?????
RB> I never use hardly any of it ;-(( Later
That's a shame, although, how much is there to talk about every month that
would warrant spending that much time on the phone? I spend an hour about
once a month with my folks and that's good until the next month.
