Mark Anthony "Fritz" Liepke's Page

Hey Mark! You are late for watch! You finally made it though! Good to see you here.

Mark - do you remember when Denny Bue jumped your a$$ when he found the box end wrench hanging from the breather valve sense line while we were on alert? I think the concern was that we would have to have down time (albeit small) in order to disconnect the pipe to get it off. Something like that anyway!

Hey Fritz, long time no see. How have you been since leaving Unidyne?

I like your tunes. I remember you toolin' around in a hearse listening to the "Dead Kennedy's" .

I don't know, I will try and find it.

Yes. I was the COB just before Ch. Despard.

Fritz - I'm doing well - living in Bonney Lake, WA with my 3rd wife and 15yr old daughter. I'm an industrial maintenance contractor and work part time in the maintenance dept of a liberal arts hippie college in Olympia, WA. You remember Paul Heins (Zippy)? He got a bunch of Bluies in touch. I was in PA for training in 2005 and I hooked up with him and Tom Zahn. Zippy calls up directory assistance for Marcus Friedman (Blue Crew capt.) while we're sitting in a bar in Scranton. Friedman was cordial but that's about it - he probably thought he got rid of us years ago. Take care - this is a really cool site.

Mark good to hear from you. I didn't get enough of the Navy I ended up back in 99 and served 9 more years.This time I served witth the Seabees,no more sea duty for me.What are you doing with yourself?
