Thinking of you.
Hi. Is that a picture of Daddy and son -- son wearing Daddy's cranial perhaps?
Hi countrywoods, nice of you to respond to me. I love your pictures esp. the super cute baby!...it seems you may know a lot about d Abe so I'd like to take the time to call you one of these days or maybe we can email each other.
my son was also an AM on the Lincoln. Take the tiger cruise if at all possible. The "ultimate" cruise.
Too bad they can't fly home with those wings!
I love that picture of Daddy and his baby zebra!
Wow, guess I don't look at my own page very often! Just saw your comment about the jet crash. Yes, I did see that. Amazing that no one was killed. My son was stationed there for several months.
I'm sorry to hear that about the Plane Captain qualification. It's sad that it often comes down to whether another person does his/her part. I hope Landon doesn't feel too down about it. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you over the weekend; I have been crazy busy!
Hi countrywoods.
I saw you on chat but didnt get to talk to you. My son is on the Vinson so our sailors are in close waters. What does your son do for his job? My son is a Machine Repairman on the ship.
Hope to chat with you soon,
Ship to shore card??? Is that like a calling card??
