It has been at least 20 years since I've seen it and it would be a shame to lose it. In fact, I remember in the fifth grade at Cary Woods Elementary School here in Auburn, I contributed money to help with the USS Alabama acquisition and restoration. Or something like that.

Good for you! I am a big fan of the USS Texas and visited her many times when I lived in Houston years ago. To make a long story very brief, in a very troubled time in my life, that visit to the 'Bama got me over a rough spot. I'll always have a soft spot for the USS Alabama...
Hope she has weathered the storm.
