Hard to type with misty eyes...didn’t know Tonk well but he did make an impact.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Flash...thanks for remembering.

[FlashBack]

Can’t believe it’s been a year...

[HiJinx]

How on earth do you remember that! I sure didn’t!

Because we say it to each other every summer when the Monsoons really kick in...!!

[luvie]

LOL!

Bill Cosby is a hoot!

I guess we just don’t have monsoons....darn it!

You also have a great weekend - here's something for the weekend Music thread....

Good afternoon to the Canteen - sorry I couldn't make it last night. I only knew Tonk slightly, but he was a real good guy from what I saw of him.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub meets fellow Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club Vet Jim Robinson

Posted on Thursday, August 12, 2004 2:05:59 PM by 68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub

Well I finally had the chance to meet and some time with Jim Robinson
And meet Shelia and their son Chris.
We met Wed about 11:30 PM PST in Bandon and had lunch.
We then went to Charleston (about 40 minutes one way) to the Coast Guard base.
This is the base that I have been going to for almost 3 years as a member of the Coast Guard Auxiliary.
The base CO came outside and Welcomed Jim, Shelia and Chris.
When I mentioned Jim was the founder of the largest conservative site on the internet he told me to make sure I sent him the url.
(E-mailed it to him today)
I then gave Jim, Shelia and Chris the base tour.
Showed them what I do on Thur and where I do it.
Showed them the radio room where I used to stand watches.
All the admin offices, mess deck, rec room etc.
Then the engineering building then the haul out bldg.
Down to the boat house itself.
