Dave "Ridge Runner" Carpenter "Qualified in Submarines" on July
13th, 1962.
This photo was taken in August of 1962 in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The USS Menhaden had just returned from a two-month submerged mission in
the North Pacific. Pictured are the crew members who earned their coveted
"Dolphins" -- "Qualified In Submarines" -- on that cruise. Pictured from
Left to Right are: (??? . . . I can't remember his name!); Richard Rowlands,
EM3(SS); "Doc" Worthington, HM1(SS); Robert Herrera, FTG3(SS); Charles
Wojic, IC3(SS); Dave Carpenter, IC3(SS); (??? . . . I can't remember his
name, either!)
In the past 40+ years, my memory has faded (sometimes called
"CRS" -- "Can't Remeber Sh*t"!) and I have forgotten some of their names!
Can anyone help me to identify them?

the nickname of "Ridge Runner" because I enlisted in the Navy in Oregon)
