Retired .. My wife and I live in Texas raising two of our grandchildren. I am the founder of the Coast Guard Channel Community Group 180 Veterans. 180 Veterans is for any Coastie who served on one or more of the Coast Guard's original 39 180-foot WW2 era buoy tenders. Our mission is to reunite former shipmates and to share our experiences of having served on a 180.
