 Additional Information
What are you doing now:



 It is Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, 2010, as I write this.  Thank you, fellow shipmates, for your service! And all who serve now or in the past.  I want to especially remember Walter "Larry" Maurer, US Army, who gave his life serving his country in Vietnam; he was a childhood playmate and classmate from 1st grade all the way to high school graduation and his name is forever engraved on the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, DC, which I had the privilege of personally seeing.
