Yeah dude, it would have been great to spend time with you also. Loved the entry, nice to see so many uniforms. My brother was always proud of his ship. It was sold to some S. American country and became their flag ship, it was a DE. The Indy, Westchester County and the Vermillion are all scrap or rest in the grave yard out in Washington state.
It would be nice to think of one of them still doing duty somewhere. They sorta become a prat of you. Good you could follow it.
Take care Shipmate and take care of that 202 bod. Listen to the pretty lady!
Sherry & jack down here.
I just found you through Jack's blog. What a wonderful thing reunions are. I had never seen a picture of a young Jack (handsome devil, wasn't he) lol
Great pictures of you, too. I am your newest follower.
I volunteer part time at the big VA clinic here. I am back to working full time so don't have as much time to volunteer as I once had. Congrats on the weight loss. Never easy as we get older.
