Dave Wilkinson was my roommate in Barracks 930 and in this picture, Barracks 1296. Where 930 was open cubicles,1296 was four man rooms. I graduated number one in my class while Dave was number two. He would sit in class doing cross word puzzles while I was writing pages of sequential numbers. The instructors hated it but we would always answer their oral questions correctly and usually aced their written tests and labs. We eventually ended up Sky Diving together (I made 15 jumps he really got into it and made many more than I did). We would also go down to San Francisco, drop and go hang out in Golden Gate Park. Later we would end up at a concert at Winterland. His favorite was Humble Pie, we saw them twice. We also saw Steve Miller in Berkley, but I really liked the opening act of Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee. Brownie played electric guitar and in all their music I have found he plays an acoustic. We would also hang out around Lake Berryesa and I remember camping around Coloma with Dave & Bart (Paul Bartholomew another one who didn't make the grade) Bart always said " I don't sweat the small stuff" while addressing major issues. Latter I had him to my apartment for dinner in Japan. He was on a tin can and was facing drug charges back in San Diego. His response was "I don't sweat the small stuff". As for Dave he went to Crypto School and moved on to a ship out of Norfolk at about the time I was in Oak Knoll Naval Hospital because of a medical hold from a botched hernia operation. I ended up with his extensive record collection which I had to sell to repair a friend's car, which I had borrowed and damaged. Dave came up to my parents house one Christmas (1972) and I followed him back down to Norfolk on my way to Florida and back to California. The last I've ever heard of him.
