Title: TORSK August activities
Post by: Evil Tracey of Torsk on August 09, 2016, 01:45:52 PM

This upcoming Saturday, TORSK will host Charles "Dave" Firebaugh on the boat again.
He is a World War II sub vet who eventually became a COB and retired a LtCdr. which a specialty in weapons.
Last year his daughter got in contact with us for his 90? birthday and we had a great time with both of them.

In the past year, he has regularly corresponded with us about various systems on TORSK, especially the TBT and TDC.  It's stunning what he remembers.
