Through the Internet I located an old friend who served with me on the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk during the Vietnam War 40 years ago.
Richard Stellacci was from the Bronx and we shared many a great time together on liberty in the wide-open city of Olongapo in the Philippines. I still have fond memories of our time there.
I contacted him and via email and a phone conversation, we swapped old sea stories and talked about what we've been doing since we left the carrier so many years ago.
As it happens, my old shipmate is a retired captain, having served 25 years with the Putnam County, New York Sheriff's Department.
I interviewed him about burglary - known as the Silent Crime - for my On Crime & Security column at Allbusiness.com.
