I’d like to donate my award tonight to a worthy service man/woman who stands between me and the swamp.

They deserve commendation far more than I.

I drove down to Newport Naval Station from Portland Maine to attend GPETE (General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment) school in the winter of ‘86.

ONE COLD PLACE!

We're at 26 now in the People's Republic of Maryland - looking for a low around 22 or 23 - we have the blast heat on and thank goodness we replaced all the windows last year!
