Robby went
aboard the USS Floyd B. Parks (1949-54) after boot
camp in 1949. He then was assigned to the USS Toledo
for about one year as a BM2 in 1954. He was assigned
Shore Duty at Treasure Island in San Francisco until
his discharge in 1957.
He then joined
the Air Force and then retired in November of 1968.
Robby is the
founder of the USS Floyd B. Parks Association. In
the 80's, he saw other ships having reunions and
decided it was time to start having reunions for
crewmembers of the Parks.
Since 1993,
there have been eleven reunions and several mini-reunions
for the friends, family and crewmembers of the Parks.
His efforts
and accomplishments are highly appreciated by all.
A hardy Bravo Zulu to you.

Fightin' Floyd B"
