Christmas Letter 2008  April 23rd, 2009 Sat, 6 Dec 08. Single digit temp this morning in my little corner of northeast Pennsylvania. I was at the post office by 0620, waiting for the truck to arrive with all the parcels, letters, and "junk mail" of which all of you are so fond. The temp brought back memories of a P-3 Orion pre-flight in Brunswick Maine at oh dark thirty so many years back. (Paul R. You can keep those ME winters all to yourself!). It is especially this time of year that I reflect on the things I like to do… [Read More

Fall 2004 to Jan 30th 2005  September 13th, 2006 We have had several guestbooks through the years. The first was free and hosted off site and worked great for the first couple years. They sold advertising space and our laptop was hijacked by a malicious script placed on their site. Luckily we had saved the web pages.

Due to the number of new members in the past few months, we feel it would be of great interest to… [Read More
