    I replaced all the fuel and water lines under the piers at Rodman Naval station in the early 70's. one heck of a hard job, caught a lot of fish there also.

    My farher was in the Navy and served in the Canal Zone in the late 1940s. My parents spent the first years of their marriage down there and I heard some of the stories of their experiences. I'm sure I'll see some pictures of places they were at.
