I am pretty positive that Tooter served as Commander of the Kitty Hawk for about two years...woulda' been roughly '80, or '81. <br /><br />I grew up next door to his Mom and Dad. His Dad was a real estate developer here in Bossier City, LA. His Mama was so proud...really our whole mid-sized city was. He was a "Bossier Boy." All-star football player, crazy as hell Navy pilot...the whole nine yards. <br /><br />I remember that it was about that time because "everyman" video tape machines, and cameras were coming on the market. My Daddy (who had his foot broken by Tooter when they were in High School) owned an appliance & TV store, and we had access to big old clunky VHS taping equipment. I made a VHS tape of the Mayor, The Lion's Club, the Rotary Club...and his Mama congratulating him on his Command...kind of an "attaboy" from the city.<br /><br />When he retired, he moved back into that same house where he grew up. His Mom & Dad had passed away. He served on the School Board, and in various civic organizations until he died. He died pretty young, too. He was 64, I think. Drank a lot...just sayin'...<br /><br />I found this on the net: <br /><br />http://navy.memorieshop.com/Kawishiwi/Teague/index.htmlAndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680168238264727770.post-55463353274591836172011-03-13T13:59:43.263-07:002011-03-13T13:59:43.263-07:00Not when I was aboard.Not when I was aboard.Glenn Mark Casselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305109383344139028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3680168238264727770.post-30160706816920331462011-03-13T03:00:44.058-07:002011-03-13T03:00:44.058-07:00ORPO, Tooter Teague commanded the Kitty Hawk.
