Hal is a Korean war veteran from the Navy who had an interesting life in and out of the service. He is originally from the Pittsburgh area and was born in 1932. He played high school football and broke his knee as the starting quarterback but was still able to receive an ROTC scholarship at the University of Rochester. He then came into the Navy as an Ensign and was assigned to the USS Franklin Roosevelt after receiving his mechanical engineering degree. His ship required repair, and he toured the Americas while bringing the ship from Virginia Beach, VA, all the way to Bremerton, Washington. I always love talking with people like Hal to get perspective, and I cherish every moment with this group of people. Don't let time pass you by without listening to folks like this.
