Wanted to put this in the public space to share it with those that are thinking of becoming a part of this great group.

For those that don't know it, Sawdust aka Dusty aka Captain Les Lampman USN (Ret)
turns 93 today. He lives in Oak Harbor Washington on Whidby Island. Sawdust is our most senior CBrat

and sure wish we could have been there today but we will be represented by an able XO
to be revealed anonce

Some special things will happen on this site and at his home today with the help some of his friends.
At any rate, Sally and I wish him a very happy Birthday, and many many more.
We hope his lovely wife Diane and he enjoy this day!

Happy Birthday, Shipmate [Dusty and I were on INDEPENDENCE (CVA-62)
many years ago, he as a Captain and myself as an Ensign]

VERY RESPECTFULLY, CHARLIE VINROOT, CAPTAIN USN (RET too)

Special thanks to the NERDS, Bill and Mike, for the Home Page help, if you enjoyed this,
put a little something in the tip jar, they are worth it!
 
PS: He wasn't always that old! :lol: Neither was I, but that's another story, we got lots!

Happy Birthday Mr. Lampman!

Betty and I really enjoyed talking with you at E.Q. Harbor Services when we picked up our new Marinaut in September, 2011. We feel it was a privilege to meet you, and we wish you many more years of good health!

Betty and Rich
 
Happy Birthday, Captain Dusty :cake

I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you (I'm a fairly new C-Brat), but I have come across many of your posts while reading in the archives, and I've very much enjoyed reading and learning from them. Thank you!

Here's to a wonderful day and year!

Happy Birthday, dear friend! One of these days we have to get Jon to build another big campfire up at Sequim Bay park so we can catch up on things.

How many folks remember this rainy, rainy March day in Olympia in 2003? We christened Dusty's C-Salt, the Tomcat 24, and Pat and Patty's Daydream, the CD22 Cruiser, that day!
