I got of "A" school on January 1975 and drew orders for the Tolovana. After reporting for duty, I was informed that she was destined for decommissioning in just a few short months. My first and only cruise about her was to Mare Island for the decimmissioning. Although I was only on her a short time, her crew gave me a great Naval foundation that I used as I served on two more ships. First the USS LaSalle AGF-3. After a year on her my fund memories of the Tolovana prompted me to ask for another oiler and I spent a little over two years on the USS Caloosahatchee AO-98.

My father recently passed away, I always knew he was in the Navy, but did not know details, so when I recieved his Navy papers after his funeral it contained his History of Assigments sheets. I started researching the ships he was on, and I came across this page. His name is Regnal P. Boudreaux, date 28 Nov 65 RECDUT, USS TOLOVANA (AO 64), OF RATE SN, SA, SR. Any pics and information from that time would be great. Thanks Crystal.

Wishing all a very Happy and Prosperous New Year. I will not be at the Arlington reunion this year as it is too far for me to drive. (I limit my trips to 500 miles or less) I will miss all and hope the next reunion will be somewhere in the middle part of the country.
