Dad was on nuke boats in the early 60s. Got his discharge papers 2 weeks before he was supposed to report for duty on the Thresher.

I had all his papers, but those and many other family things went bye-bye after my ID theft ordeal, and the loss of the house.

But I do remember kinda like Kodak stills in my memory, when mom and I went to meet him coming in, and I was a little over 2 years old, and his skipper saw him pick me up, and waved for him to bring me on deck, and he told Dad to take me bellow and show me around.

I have memories of the silos, and the galley, and the torpedo room, and the state rooms for the officers. So it was cool to get a little tour of a boat, though I don't remember a whole lot, but Dad seemed rather popular with the Officers and NCOs, so that was fun.
