While aboard the USS Purdy, Ronald was sent to a refrigeration school and then a fire-fighting school.
A tour of the Mediterranean countries and a chance to see some of the 1960 Olympics in Rome, Italy.
One of the things I did NOT like was going through the eye of a hurricane in the Atlantic.
I had some very good friends while on the USS Purdy. - Wars Involved:
