Charlie,
Can't get the email thing to work -- no surprise, I'm not very computer literate if the ON switch doesn't solve it -- when were you aboard Independence? Think maybe our paths crossed there!!! I was skipper of Heavy 11 (A3D), then Air Ops, Ops, and part time XO under Swanson and J.D. Ramage. All aboard Indy. Small world!!!
Dusty

Charlie,
Thanks for serving. The Navy's a good outfit for sure. My Dad retired as an ATCS off of the Hancock in '64.
We were all young...I was 18 and returned to the states when I was 19. I got out of the Corps after my 3 year enlistment at the age of 20...
Always a pleasure to meet fellow Veterans. Thanks for the welcome.
I'm honored to meet you...
Mike

You said it Bubba! People forget the prices that are paid for the life that we enjoy and sometimes take for granted. With that I'd like to share a brief story told at the American Legion last week.
The first day of a college philosophy class the professor announces he is an atheist, and he will prove it. He said he'd be lecturing for the next hour from the 6" high podium and if there is a God, He will have to knock me off the podium in the first 15 minutes of the lecture.
5 minutes pasted and he smiled as he said, "I am still here, then 10 minutes pasted and he said the same thing. Thewreafter he gave a time report up to the 14 minute mark. He said I told you there was no God ranting to his students. What he did not notice was a Marine just back from Vietnam getting up to make his way slowly to the front of the room. When the Marine got there beside the podium the professor was counting down the seconds of the remaining 15 minutes. With out hesitation and with one lick the professor went flying across the room. The passive professor asked inquired as to what that was for. The Marine responded, "God was busy", and then quietly walked out of the class.

Butch- I answered your question about the three battery hook-up system under the electrical systems photos section. Joe
