Howdy, HiJinx! Hope all’s well with you.

Yes, lots of memories flooding back this evening.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Marine, for helping us remember.

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Sorry you didn’t get the chance to know Tonk. He was a great guy and a real character at times. :-)

[easternsky]

Thank you very much, that is the kind of things he did. Reading through some of the old Freepers name that are gone for whatever reason, it was good then not as much rancor, there was always some but not like now.

[radu]

WOOHOO, PRO! #50!

Looks like LUV and I were too late to give ya a run for the money. :-)

[Kathy in Alaska]

I second that, BB...he was a kind soul. I “met” him on the way to the cemetery.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Tijeras_Slim, for sharing our remembrance.

Good evening, eye...I finally learned to spell his name, Yatch, and then several years later he was able to get it changed to Yacht and keep his start date and all his postings. To this day I have to think before spelling.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Me, too, fatima, me too.

He would be so upset about the goings on in America these days.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!

Must retire for the evening.

The Bugler, his grim visage replete with an evil sneer,
already mounts the parapet.

[radu]

Good night and sleep well.

Hope tomorrow’s a good day with smooth commutes both ways.

[combat_boots]

Good man, that.

[NonValueAdded]

Rest In Peace, dear Tonk, and our prayers remain with your loved ones. Just had a brand new Coastie stay at the hotel last night on the way to her first assignment out of the Academy. Thought of you right away.

[PROCON]

Woo-Hoo backatcha!

Nothing going on today for me, I've been following and posting a lot on today's latest islamic terrorist attack.

We Americans must remain vigilant and not believe all the Bull Sheesh that our current government tells us. I'm really fed up with them!/rant off

Son and I will be getting together this week, looking forward to that.

How wuz your day?
