YN1 USN RET
I had 2 WestPacs out of Pearl on the Davidson (80 & 82) and a Med/IO/North Atlantic on the Spru (88). Between the 80 and the 88 cruises I can say that I’ve been around the world. The memories are fantastic.
I just wish this disease I’m stricken with had held out for a few more years as my wife & I had hoped to explore more of the US at this stage of our lives. Oh well, I’m fortunate to be able to sit here at the kitchen table with my laptop & internet and “talk” to fellow “shipmates” & reminisce. Along with looking out the window at the fields & woods, watching the goats playing and the wildlife. Yes, I’m quite happy & content. Sorry this is so long…..
EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED AND MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE NEW YEAR
