June 16, 2013: Telephone call to Mike Drooker
I just got off the phone from Mike Drooker. I have not spoken to him in at least 30 years. He’s in good shape, as are his two sisters, doing community work of various sorts. He talked about his career in the Navy, where he served maintaining submarines, both diesel and nuclear, but not a whole lot of sea time. He regaled me with a story of a near explosion in chemistry lab at Andover that he caused, that I witnessed, but I did not remember. Clearly, he did.
