Brand M. Duc Radioman 1961-1963 - - Submitted 3/21/06
I was a radioman aboard the Estes
from 1961 to 1963. Went aboard in summer of ’61, while the ship was in dry docks in Long Beach. Then went to North Island, in San Diego. While aboard we went to the World’s
Fair in Seattle and the Rose Festival in Portland,
OR. Went to Wespac in 1962 and returned in Sept, 1963, when I was discharged.
Still have some photos and memories of being stationed aboard her.
