    This just makes me smile...................................thanks Barb, and congrats to your boy, he's moving on to a life's adventure.

    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)

    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!
