Honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy as an ET-2, second class petty officer, he served as an Electronic Technician at the Jacksonville Naval Air Station from 1960-1963.

Fred graduated from The Rayen School and Youngstown State University with a Bachelors degree in Geography.

So much fun to work with you. Plus you and my hubby stationed in Jacksonville NAS during the Cuban missile crisis together. You will be missed. Fair winds and following seas.
