Worked on the ICU ward 65 B. Had the opportunity to “special” Fleet Adm. Nimitz for a month of nights during one of his last stays there. Remained in the Navy and Navy Reserve for 37 years and retired as a CAPT MSC. Would be interested in knowing if there are any reunions planned and would love to hear from people in that era. Especially Lt Marge Miller or other nurses who worked the ICU during that period.

Steve Lamkins,
1971 - 1973
Bearhnt@aol.com
My name is Steve Lamkins. I was a patient at Oak Knoll from 1971 to approx. 1973. I did not have a combat related injury, rather I was a patient in the CIC (Clinical Investigation) ward. We weren't in the main bldg. but were in one of the outlying wards. Not sure which one. I remember a nurse- Bonnie Buouy(sp) and a Dr. Weinstein.There was a guy named George who worked in CIC in the main bldg., and a lady named Kathy McVicker who was in charge of the animal lab (where I was assigned for my work detail). Kathy passed away in the early 1990's (I have heard) from a brain tumor. Another of the patients I remember was another sailor named Don Hawn(sp). Also Alonzo Gregg was there as a patient. Alonzo (Lonnie) and I have been in contact recently. That's about all I remember for now. Except for one of the corpsmen who was killed outside of the main gate at the bus stop. I wish I remembered his name, but I don't. All I remember is that he was stabbed numerous times. He was one of my favorite corpsmen. I believe his name was Eddie, but I don't remember his last name. Any help anybody can give me would be appreciated.

My favorite duty station. I was an HN there from early 1987 until mid 1989. I worked Post Partum (8th floor) and then for Capt Riddell in Administration. My son was actually conceived in the Ortho Duty room on the 7th floor. My husband was HN Richard Fields (now Chief). I would love to hear from anyone who was stationed there during this time frame.

I am HN Jim "Flash" Henderson, Oak Knoll from October 1989 - May 1992 (includes USNS Mercy). I worked for wards 9 South and 6 West. Looking for anyone that was part of The Crew at the hospital or on the Mercy: names include Jim "Preacher" Morris, Grizz, Amy, and Eddie Guting. There were lots of us, so please e-mail me and place Oak Knoll in the subject - if you don't I will think it's SPAM.

I left the Navy as Brian E. Petersen HM2. I was a HN while at Oak Knoll and worked on the 9th floor, Septic Orthopedics. What I remember most are the patients and their tragic wounds. Most on my ward were Marines, very recently Medivaced from 'Nam,, with horriffic infected amputations resulting from landmines, AK47 and other weaponry. The patients attitudes and courage in the face of a very altered future life was inspiring. It made my last year in the Navy, spent with First Marine Air Wing, much easier to be with Marines!
