I'm just checking out some web sights and I thought I'd check out va-176 seeing I spent some time there in the 70's, 80's and 90's. Just a few observations, I would really like to see a 176 reunion some where in VA beach you all know I'm poor, I can't afford to go to florida. On a differant note I don't know if you remember Bill Root, well his wife is going in for an operation please keep her in your prayers. and does anybody know what happen to Phil Evans, Dave Hopper and Rich Srong last time I saw him he was a LT. and the rest of the USS America crew.
