Dear Sir
I was a member of the Sampson crew from Oct 84 until Jan 90. I was a HT and a BT. I am looking for information on old shipmates. I can locate a cruise book from Med 84-85 that Todd Breintwieser has in St. Louis, if you are looking for such as that, I have misplaced my criuse books over the years. You can e-mail me at [email protected] or call me at this number (404)873-4171 ext 117. I would like to help with this site anyway I can. Hope to hear from you soon.

BT3 Earl S. Lott
