As a ten year old, he was guest of RICHARD O’KANE (1540-+-1990) and the two O’Kane children aboard USS TANG for a short run to sea off the California coast. The freezer aboard broke down and RANDY was asked to take some ice cream bars up the forward hatch and deliver them to the other children. As he made his way up the ladder, the bottom of the box opened up, releasing a barrage of soft and melting ice cream bars. They fell down the ladder shaft, landing on several of the crew standing just below. He made a quick exit and hid behind the open hatch cover while a very angry crew member came using words RANDY still does not recognize!
