Pops recently celebrated a milestone. The surprise party went over very well and and it was fun for all who attended. How could this have been achieved without the Internet? Shifting gears..
I have been planning a major overhaul of this space. Modern CSS facelift and for better navigation and improved readability. If I can steal a couple of hours for self, I may actually get this done during the holidays. More on this the next few days.

Hello Shipmate, This is your old Wardog plankowner shipmate John Hagan, I was pleased to run across your web page and learn that you are doing well. No surprise there, I remember you as quiet, dignified, realistic, ambitious but not driven, and a really fine Shipmate. Hope all is well with you. I am retired nearly ten years now and working for Bath Iron Works in a ship design program (Zumwalt Destroyer DDG 1000) ...Happy New Year to you and yours.
All the best,
John Hagan
Hi Al,
