Tonk, I'm so glad you got to meet The Great One. He is a super nice guy isn't he? I feel very honored to be one of those Freepers who has met and thanked Jim for being one of the greatest Americans of our time. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Sheila yet, but I know that since Jim married her she has to be a winner.

Hey Tonk,
Give FN Harper a pat on the back from a prior Station Coos Bay Fireman.
I had engineer quals as a FN(E-3) on all 3 44'MLBs, the 30' SRB (aka - Torpedo) , and the 52' MLB Intrepid.
Are surf drills still on thursdays? and how are the darts, pool and ping-pong on the rec deck?
My first three years in the Coast Guard was a blast in Coos Bay. And the beaches at Bandon are awesome.

Dont laugh too hard!
The second year one of the old riverfront mills caught fire and burned to the waterline. We got close enough with the 44408 to squirt some water on it but was a lost cause. It was a 2 or 3 story wood building about 600 or 700 foot long. Biggest fire I ever seen up close. Im glad it wasnt any worse.
Im sure you gave Jim the full tour in bristol fashion.
