Since we are remembering the men and women of our armed forces, I thought that I would mention my dissertation topic. I am writing about USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754). On the morning of 3 June 1969 the Royal Australian Navy carrier HMAS Melbourne collided with Frank E. Evans. The forward section sank in five minutes taking 74 sailors with it. Just prior to this SEATO exercise, USS Frank E. Evans had been providing NGS fire for US and ARVN troops. The photo below shows the aft section of USS Frank E. Evans tied alongside USS Everett F. Larson.

It was really great here. The smoke is in the air from the Carefree fire I guess. Made a beautiful red sunset.

I just graduated high school June 7, 1985, I turned 19 in July and got my first true job. In late August I started college. I remember hanging over a friend's house and he had a remote controlled BetaMax VCR, even though the control was hard wired into it, I was fascinated by it and he taped all of Live Aid onto his Beta tapes. I still hang out with my grade school buddy and we still do the same things now that we did then. B-)

I have now...I like your smile, and I like your lab.

I can't taste the coffee, so I won't pass judgement on it just yet.

The HTML tag to put something in the middle of the page is the word center with the left and right brackets around it.

On FR, the paragraph tag will generally also close the center tag, but not always. This slash - / - in front of a tag closes it; i.e., < /center > without the spaces.

Tends to happen that way.

Curious, Grammie...did you get to see the same sunset we did?

Thank you for the post.

However, better check your "1985 Fact Sheet" I don't have any idea where you got your information for the 1985 Fact Sheet, but is is grossly in error.

The demise of the Soviet Union came in 1991 -- not 1985. You are off by SIX years.

Have a good 4th. /s/dkp

I realized that afterwards, but I was in a hurry and the online Encyclopedia that was used made a correction at the very next page. Which MoJo didn't have time to checkout!
Thanks for visiting!

Prayer For Absent Family Members O God, whose fatherly care reaches to the uttermost parts of the earth: We humbly beseech you graciously to behold and bless those whom we love, now absent from us. Defend them from all dangers of soul and body, and grant that both they and we, drawing nearer to you, may be bound together by your love in the communion of your Holy Spirit; AMEN
