This is me in Rome or was it Spain? We were having a retirement party for someone who had served 20 years in the navy. One thing I can say about the navy, You will find friends that you can keep for life. You also realize that even though you have to leave those at home and your heart aches to be back, you soon understand that what you do keeps those at home safe and away from harm. Some nights while your alone in your rack or your up on in the bridge and there is no light to see except for the millions of stars in the sky, I sometimes wonder am I making a diffrence? When you see that smile on someones face that you bring. ie. this picture. then yes sometimes one person can make the diffrence if only for that minute, perhaps just that moment, for all the right reasons you do.

The night World War II ended. My grandfather is the sailor in the middle. I am also in the navy. He was a well respected person where ever we went when I was growing up. I followed his example. It has taken me all over the world. Its good to have history to look back on. (self Reflection.) =-)

Inside C-130 

Well I must fly on now... Don't worry I will keep you posted! K. 

That's me in the center of the two pilots. They are the officers wearing blue. 

If you Look close you can see the ground out the window. We are not that far from it! You can Pick out the cars bellow! I could feel the Gee'ss on this turn let me tell you! 

Here I am in the cockpit. We are about to take off! We took off then hit a 45 degree angle! 

This here is a C-130. The Blue Angels C-130 that is. I got to fly in this today. It was quite amazing... They did some manuvers that I did think were quite possible with one of them! 

View from the from the top... 

Hmm. Their version of the bullmarket? 

I caught this Picture as they were crossing the street. I wonder just when and how they got their start??? 

Here is another one. Inspiring?? 

This was a nice picture when I was in barclona. 

I must say I admire the commitment of the Vatican Guard. They stand out there for hours with people watching them like fish in a fishbowl. I wonder how that must be for a point on your resume? Anyone know someone who does this line of work? 

Inside the dome. Will we ever put forth this much effort as those did back then in just making something beautiful? Anyone out there know of Something going on now that could even compare? 

I like this photo. Took it in rome with the backdrop of the Vatican dome. Quite nice. I wish I could say that about work today. Was a little frustrating=-)
