Today brought difficulty in subject matter choice, as very little this week was either newsworthy or annoying enough to create inspired commentary, and that which was important had already been treated. Not wishing to leave my readers hanging, I thought deeply about what needed to be discussed. I stared out the window of my office for a bit, the window that looks upriver toward some of the historic estates that house our neighbors here. I thought a good bit about the beauty of this little spot (Miles River) and how much I love it in the summer.

I feel you! I was at the decom’ing of both KINKAID (DD-965) and GRIDLEY (CG-21) both solemn affairs, and my SWO buddies remained friends to this day. My CO on KINKAID gave me the SWO PQS book and said ‘get to work’.
I was WEPS/CSO on VELLA GULF from 99-02. A great ship with an incredible crew.

Small world, indeed...and humbling.
This is a fantastic post that conjured up so….many…..memories! Thank you!
