I had a close friend on the USS Forrestal when they had the massive fire in 1967. He was a nozzle man on one of the fire parties.
He fought the fire even though his deck shoes melted. He had to undergo a couple of surgeries to remove stuff that had melted to his feet. 135 dead - the result of one duck* up piled on top of another on top of another.
We had to watch the Navy's training documentary on that numerous times.

1. Switzerland, if they had access to ESPN and UConn women's basketball games.

2. Drove really really drunk one night 50 years ago. Fortunately it was 4 in the morning
and no one else was on the road, so I got home without killing anyone.

3. Pro golfer (if only I had the talent).

Besides my UNH college years, have spent all my 51 years in GLP-so yeah, I've had my share of fun at the Horse!
I'm in Mystic. Hit the Seahorse 2-3 times a week for drinks and Friday night dinner

I may have to hit you up for seafood recommendations for when I'm in New London next month for the USC/St. John's game at Mohegan Sun.

You have probably run into (or almost over) me before on the roads if you have ever seen that crazy guy on roller skis!!

A fellow bluenose? I've been above the circle several times, the last time as a civilian, but I never got close to the pole. Mostly in the Barents.
