Hello Keith,
Thanks for the quick reply to my question about Rudy's e-mail
address.
Yes I am an a-vet. I just found out about the group yesterday. I have always
thought that the government should recognize the vets that served under the
conditions we did.
I served aboard the USS Munsee ATF 107 during the Atomic tests at Christmas
Island in 1962.
Our duties were to tow the target sleds to the detonation area, turn on the
lights for the B-52's
to see, then get out of the area as fast as we could, which only gave us
about 2 hours before detonation. If the bomb didn't sink the target we had
to go back in and finish the job, which we had to do on several occasions.
I believe we were there for 16 bomb drops.
Talk to you again sometime,
Ron Lockwood
