I'm watching FNC. Wanting to catch the latest war news.
Hiya Kurt...prayers for rational and peaceful resolution to your pay issue.
I am somewhat bothered about the news announcing the pending action in Falujah.
#164...WOW...HAVE FUN! :)
Were you in SAC?
...the next best thing would be a boxed set of PBS Jewel in the Crown...series...(that, I might get)
Kohl's have some very inexpensive dishes in all colors. I just bought some new one, in all different colors. I don't like things to match, 4 dishes are the same, and I've picked up the various colors in the rest. No cups though..
God bless and rest General Curtis LeMay, W6EZV. That's all I remember about SAC. The commanding General was a Ham Radio Operator.
I checked my log books. I never worked General LeMay, but I did work Jordan's King Hussein, callsign JY1.
Barry Goldwater was operator K7UGA.
Even with the cold war going on, that was a wonderful time to be a geeky teen-ager. All of the cool guys were Ham Radio Operators.

Thank you M kehoe for printing that article, and thank you Admiral for coming forth and saying what so many of us, here in FRland have talked about. If you like, you may join us for coffee in the AMs. We'd love to have you visit.
I'm thinking of getting some clear glass dishes and etching a So Western something or other on the back side.
Yee gads john, you are a man of many talents. Yes, I remember Gen Le May. Never met him, but heard a lot of stories about him. He even shut SAC down one time cause the administration, then, wouldn't let him have the fuel he needed.
The men at my house don't really appreciate a pretty table. The DIL's shudder when I get my good things out. Therefore I bought a set of plain white Corelle which I use all the time for EVERYTHING. The girls are much more comfortable with it.

But I do remember the night I talked to King Hussein. He was a very gracious operator.
