There is also a list of techs that joined Rad in 1974, 1975, 1976 and 1977, a list of techs married 1982, Anniverseries, and babies born. There is also a memorial to Bill Coyle and George Oaks.

What memories! Now if I could only forget.

PM me if you want a copy.

I still have an old VHS tape with all the Rad Services softball footage from Oconee (1982 and 1983). Zeke and Bubba did all the taping. Melvin was angry that Zeke gave it to me instead of him. Ha.

Love to see the tape. I was the WORST player on the team. But it was fun! I scanned it into a pdf and it's on its way to those who requested it. Takes me way back to when I was actuall young(er)

[ISOCS]

I got the pdf! It sure brings back the memories. I'll work on getting the tape converted to CD this weekend and send it to anyone who wants a copy and a look into the past. I still have my RAD Services hat and jersey.

I still have my RAD ID card.

 I still have my RAD hat and gym bag, the dark blue and yellow one with the rad,rad,rad,rad strap. Very cool.

I started with Numanco in '79. The guys that drove the rentals were the 'Airborne'. Still, '79 was on the downside of the rent-a-tech business. Some few months later, Chuck quit the rentals, RAD pulled back a little and soon it was all over. I guess once FFD got put into place, rentals could have come back. In fact- the co. I work with now provides rentals although they are starting to turn the screws on those. I may have an old RAD hat somewhere and I am hoping an old 'Little nukie never hurt' tee-shirt with Indian Point in the armpit. I suppose I wore it out.

The t shirt with Indian Point in the arm pit was "migrant nuclear worker" made by celletti.

Greetings,
I was at Oconee in 82 and would enjoy the pictures and the DVD. I'm new to the web site and the last time I put a name and address my message was pulled.  Please advise.

Pat,

Welcome to NukeWorker, and to answer your question I would advise you send a PM to ISOCS and give him your e-mail address, home address or whatever. I know he will help you out.

Again Welcome to NukeWorker...hey!, think about becoming a Gold Member during the current membership drive, well worth the couple of bucks.

Well, I can't find my lighters, my pens are all used up, I spent the per diem, and I never got any clothing.  I did get this hat recently.  It came to me from an operator on a recent site who had known an old friend of mine from back in the day, Terry Spohn.  Now I have something from the beginning to the current.

[ISOCS]

I think it's Terry Spahn and worked with him in '81 and '86 at BV. You were there I think in '81 but I was the rookie. I think Terry is deceased in the fallen section.

[peteshonkwiler]

ISOCS,  I'm not trying to nit pick, but it's Spohn.  T. M. Spohn, but it will cost you money to find out what the M. stood for.  I knew Terry well, we were buds before we were HPs. 

[ISOCS]

Okay Pete, you win. You're more sure than I am. Were you guys part of the "Apollo Connection"?

[xobxdoc]

I had some old pictures from a gathering of nightshift techs at an after hours saloon during an outage at BV in 88. There's a good pic of Terry. I gave these to Dusty Darby. Hopefully he can post them.

Somewhere I have a picture from 80-something of a bunch of us having " Sunday Sunrise Services"  (beer) on the access road just outside the plant.  I can't remember everyone there I know Larry Werner, Cindy Coursey, Jimmy Gimza, etc. I will have to dig that out and post it. Wow, pre-ffd!!!, remember when.

I worked for Rad (only a little) at TMI 79 and then at Pilgrim 79-80. I wrote RP instrument procedures and was the first one onsite for Rad at Pilgrim. Rad then put an ALARA team and an instrument cal team on there. Ralph Jacobs was my "daddy" in procedure writing then.

Those were wild and wooly days. Mel Hench was the RPM at Pilgrim, former vacuum cleaner salesman. *gack!* Only guy who I know the NRC told the utility to fire as RPM.

Larry Moretti was on the ALARA team and he is still out here at Diablo Canyon but now works more as I&C for RP instrumentation and new projects.

I will have to dig up my pictures from one of Moretti's famous birthday parties at his house.

Glenn - as I recall Xxxxx Xxxx was the worst guy on the Oconee team.  He had the nickname "the dead guy" because if the ball wasn't within 2 feet of him he wouldn't move.  Someone had to run out from the infield to get the ball that landed next to him.
