Navy Radioman Buck Stationed At Stockton California
Rodney D. Buck Navy Radioman Second Class is stationed at the U S Naval Communications Station in Stockton California. He is the son of Homer V. Buck and the late Chester Buck and joined the Navy in November 1969 after attending Chester High School. Federal officials promise concessions to truck drivers who blockaded highways demanding diesel price relief and lower speed limits. A House bill would give Nixon power to mandate gas station closings.
