Episode 20: 2nd Class Petty Officer Bobby Singson

Happy Birthday to 2nd Class Petty Officer Bob Singson. He served in the US Navy During the Korean War. We served under Captain Stewart on the Destroyer USS Yarnall. This episode was a special request from his son Tracy Singson, who wanted to preserve his fathers life sketch. From growing up as a nomadic child, to serving his country, to his conversion in the church. Bobby grew up in a fast changing country that didn't necessarily treat him with the same respect he provided his country, but he lived by his fathers teaching to "choose your friend's wisely". Bobby has lived a life full of adventure and accomplishment. At 92 years old his mind is sharper than most 40 year olds. I hope he will join us again as a guest in the near future. Until then, Come Hang with Bobby Singson
