(well he is a bit on the round side - ho ho ho! - sorry Dexter) Seriously, Dex called me a couple days back and wanted to let me know that he was sending me one of his VERY special items to hang onto for us all (and to eventually pass along to my favorite museum out here I'm sure). It arrived today and you almost feel like you're touching a time machine - this item is definitely from the PAST - from our submarine S-1 SS-105 - It is unique and very special - Thank you Dex for entrusting me with it, it will be taken care of!

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2540 Location: Wappingers Falls, NY | Subject: RE: A Santa Named Dex! WOW... Now that is a beautiful piece of history...and I have a connection to it, too. My granduncle, CMDR. Vincent J. Moore was an executive officer on her in the early '20's. John, I hope you don't mind if I make a copy of that picture? Would like to show it to my Mother. Uncle Vincent was her Dad's brother. Ric was kind enough to include my uncle's picture and brief history of his sub career on the S-1 pages. ...AND DEX...or is that "Santa"...you are a marvel...to have that wonderful piece of history in your possession...NOW THAT IS JUST WAY TOO COOL.
