I had the pleasure of knowing Ensign Matteson in 1958-9 aboard Cutter Castle Rock. Of special note is one Saturday morning we set off to Connecticut, really to New Jersey and Ensign Matteson rode with us. The trip was memorable because Ensign Matteson had us laughing all the way to his house to see his wife. He was a real guy who would connect with crew. Kind of tough but fair as they come. We liked him. Hope the Admiral is well and keeping his pals laughing. Joe Ippolito, YN3
