  Carol,

     We all here( I have communicated with several about our loosing the Chief) are with you in our thoughts in this time! We know the Chief will remain here with us as well. Our prayers are with you, your son and the family. We are honored that you would fill in for him!

  "Out of the winds' and the waves' riot,
  Out of the loud foam,
  He has put in to a great quiet
  And a still home.
  
  Here he may lie at ease and wonder
  Why the old ship waits,
  And hark for the surge and the strong thunder
  Of the full Straits,
  
  And look for the fishing fleet at morning,
  Shadows like lost souls,
  Slide through the fog where the seal's warning
  Betrays the shoals,
  
  And watch for the deep-sea liner climbing
  Out of the bright West,
  With a salmon-sky and her wake shining
  Like a tern's breast, —
  
  And never know he is done for ever
  With the old sea's pride,
  Borne from the fight and the full endeavour
  On an ebb tide."

  Still can't update a photo for my profile. I will attempt to contact Doug, if I find out how. The official looking Navy photo of me in uniform is what I want to put as my profile picture, however it just won't go for some reason. I've tried various ways, including the upload a picture from my footlocker page on this site. I am at a loss.

  I really enjoy your site & the article's about the San Diego Recruit training Center & the 

  way it is now. The video about the AD Skyraider's were the first planes in my Squadron

  and were known as AD5 Queen's.  They were replaced by the Willey Fud's with the dome

  on the top like a smaller version of the Awacs today. I was on the USS yorktown the same

  cruise as Denny Witham & am his lifetime friend as well. He wrote the comment Dec

  29th.

  looking for cds or any recordings of Blue Jacket Choir.  I was a member in 1970.  I do not care when the recording was made. 

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
