    Looked like a lot of fun Ray, glad you had a great time. Thanks for sharing the pics

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    My father was a Submarine Crewman in the South Pacific in WWII, I spent an enormous amount of time aboard the USS Bowfin while I lived there. Gave me chills to be where my father served during the War.

    I didn't go on the Bowfin. Those older subs make me claustrophobic. Plus, they are full of toe-stubbers, knee-bangers, and head-knockers.

    I recall from one of those documentries, That since it was filled up and ready to go, There is enough oil on board, that at the current rate of leakage, it will be leaking for 500 years.

    The only way they had to "clean it up" at the time of the documentry,Had a better than 50% chance of resulting in a spill that would devestate the harbor.


    Thanks for the pic's, Ray.

    We went to Pearl/Arizona Memorial on Veterans Day. There were a lot of WWII vets there for the occasion. My allergies got really bad for awhile there.

    Dad was there for all of it. I was about two at the time. So assuming you were in your early 20's at that time, you are by no means old.
