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!
Good evening, Nana Hope....are you staying warm?
It’s supposed to get down to 26 tonight . . . but . . . I’m toasty here . . . thermostat is set at 70 and I have an afghan I’m knitting on my lap to keep me cozy and warm . . . smile!
