[Valin]

It's been 38 years now and I can still remember laying in my bunk that 1st night (upper bay, 3rd bunk on the right, lower bunk) thinking to myself "OMG Steve! What have you gone and done!"

And I suspect if you were to ask any vet they'd say something similar.

[beachn4fun]

Ok, one more by Martina. Then I'll search for something else. She can belt this one out, too.

Where Would You Be?
Martina

[beachn4fun]

That's better! I knew you could be handy!
