Had a team contact in 89-90:

President - Burke Wellborn

Match Secretary/Coach - John Dowd


And in the 1990 work up cycle

Contact was Jim "Bear' Convery III

We made the maiden USS TR/CVN-71 cruise DEC88 - JUN89, formed a ship's team and played all over the Med (only lost to the Brit Expats in Cairo/beat those snobbish french-f*ckers in Toulon). We talked MWR into buying us a full kit, top to bottom. Hershel West had never played before that cruise but was strong as all get out, fast. and generally athletic. Burke Wellburne was part of the TR club. We had some other USN Service club guys on the TR side. There was a #8, Dowdy?
