It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Barb - that's great. A big congratulations to you and especially to him. For some reason, I ended up working at GE with at least a half dozen guys that were former submariners. Also, one of my best friends was a sub officer. All are the best (and they really don't glow in the dark after a few trips on a nuke)Dave W
I am now gone from this forum for now - finally have pulled the plug

The pictures bring back memories of '68 for me, Barb! I was at Great Lakes, then to Memphis for my "A" school on aircraft engines. He looks like one squared away sailor! Bet he'll learn how to stretch & roll the brim of that white hat in a few weeks!! Tell him to roll that outer brim down 1/2 way, then stretch it over his knee. Then when you unroll it the top is bigger than the bottom, and you can shape it to fit your "look" - rolled out on the sides, rolled out all around, rolled more back than front - whatever suits your fancy! Then the "sailor tailor" in Connecticut can snug up those pants leaving the full bell, and tighten the top so small he has to have a zipper down the side to get it over his head!! Congratulations, Mom! He'll do fine!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
