I Robert Dean Hall “Bob” was born 8 September 1935 in Missouri. Currently my hair is reddish grey, my eyes are blue. I enlisted in the navy at St. Joseph, Missouri, 21 January 1953, and went to boot camp at Great Lakes, Illinois. I reported on board USS FRANK E. EVANS (DD 754) in 1955 to B Division where I served as a Boiler Tender third class.

I joined the navy right out of high school at the ripe old age of 17. After boot camp, I served on a P.C.E. on Lake Michigan. In January 1955 I went to Treasure Island, San Francisco. I wanted a ship, so I drew the good ole USS FRANK E. EVANS (DD 754). First, they sent me to Diesel training, then put me in B Division, in the Forward Fireroom running boilers.

I bought a little camera in Japan in 1955 and took a lot of little, not very good, pictures. Here are some samples. These are the best ones, “yuck.” I still have that little camera. It must be an antique, like me. I hope this will help a little.

“Bob” currently resides at 22509 Hwy E, Forest City, MO64451-9715. You can reach him at 660-442-3676.

Bob’s health is not very good so he spends most of the year in the Florida Keys. He has a house at 1681 Watson Blvd., Big Pine Key, FL 33043, phone 305-872-1149. He’s usually there from November 1st through April 10 . If you are down that way stop by.
