Hondo took me under his wing when i reported onboard the USS Joh F Kennedy. We became good friends and he would give a ride home on weekends and drop me off in York on his way home and pick me back up Sunday pm and we would dive thru the night back to Norfolk. He was a great friend and shipmate and i was very glad he was able to attend our reunion a few years back. RIP Hondo - We have the watch.
