BT3 ROBERT DEAN HALL 14 February 1955-1957

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

I joined the navy right out of high school at the ripe old age of17. After boot camp, I served on a P.C.E. on Lake Michigan. InJanuary 1955 I went to Treasure Island, San Francisco. I wanted aship, 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 theForward 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 bestones, “yuck.” I still have that little camera. It must be anantique, like me. I hope this will help a little.
