First Seacraft

Thanks to all for your comments, they're very well received! I have passed on your thanks to my son and he says thank you very much, it was a grueling experience for him but he couldn't be more proud to be able to serve his country and his people. Being an "Air Force Brat" showed him the dedication and professionalism (at least by everyone I knew, there have been exceptions, especially in the prisons) of our men and women in the Armed Forces and he decided to take up the torch from us retirees. His mother and I can't be more proud of him and thank you for your good wishes and patriotism.

As for the "mistress", as my wife so kindly puts it, she's in for some maintenance as soon as I return from my next 2-week trip to correct her bad habit of stalling whenever you change shifts.

I hope you get to restore your '71 soon and hope to see many pictures!
