The old 1960's/70's style rain suitI remember the rain suits, they did smell awful. I didin't mind the pants as much as I did the jacket.

Evening Phil Dragoo.
I was on Constellation in 1970 in Boston. It has remained afloat over two centuries while Ted Kennedy sank his Oldsmobile the first year.ROTFL
I was on the USS Missouri and being on a WWII ship was amazing, I can't even imagine being on a ship from the war of 1812.
Good read on the encounter between the USS United States vs HMS Macedonian.

Farewell to the "CONNIE" Aaaaaaw, SAM, ya had to go and make my monitor all watery. *sniff* There's something heart-wrenching to me about the decommissioning of that grand ship.
I scrutinized these gorgeous pics you posted for a glimpse of one of my "Connie" Boyz but didn't see any familiar faces. I do have these saved in my 'puter, though. They're beauties! Thank you for this wonderful post!

I just fired off some e-mails to the "Connie" Boyz who have been staying in touch with me, to ask if they went to the ceremony. If any went, it'll be interesting to hear what they say about it.
Time to grab this fat girl, Morticia,
and head for the bat cave. Been a looooong day and it's early-rising again tomorrow. Good night, SAM, and I'll catch ya later.
(*giggle* when I took this pic, the flash startled her and guess where she plopped.....yep, right off the edge of the table onto the floor. LOL!!)

I preferred the rainsuit to the pancho anyday because the 'new improved' poncho always leaked like and MF.
