What a week!

Last week was great!!

A few days before Veteran's Day my wife and I were kicking back watching TV, and a yahoo messenger window opened up and the person asked if I remeber her husband Randy from the ship I was on, and that was a friend I had not talked to in about 12-13 years!!

Randy was in Concord, CA for a work class, and Concord is on the way home for my wife and I from work!!

So we were able to get together and talk about old Navy stuff, and new stuff!

That was great!!

Randy's wife Donna found some sites that had information on the USS Waddell, which is the ship we were on back in the late 80's and early 90's a guided missile destroyer, and was able to find my information!!

The power of the internet!!

Then on Thursday we saw Nicole's dad walk in the San jose Veteran's Day Parade, as he was a Vietnam Vet.

Nicole's dad is really good at building models as a way to relax and the detail is really excellent. He is building a model of the ship the USS Waddell that I have had for a few years but never started.

Well he was having some trouble finding hte model colors and things to get it right and in this months Fine scale Modeller magazine there is a 3 page spread of the USS Waddell in 1/350th scale, from a China visit in 1989 right before I got on the ship!

Looks good too!

Amazing, huh!!
