At random: USS SKATE and USS SEADRAGON, after affecting a historic rendezvous under the ice, surfaced together at the North Pole through an opening in the ice on August 1962. What really happened: We didn't surface together, Skate surfaced first. Then we (Seadragon) fired yellow flares forward and aft so Skate could tell us how we were lined up. Remember, under-ice was primitive in these days. Skate called back down rapidly that one flare surfaced on her starboard side and the other to port. She requested we reposition before vertical surfacing. We did. - Coyote (Owen Carlson)

Subject: Sue McLaughlin

I got an e mail from Sue about some things related to Gary and the Cabezon. Unfortunately I never met Sue, or Gary, but it was nice that she thought it might be something for me.

Bottom line was that she took the time, and effort to get in touch with me. What I couldn't believe it has been 20 years since Gary's passing. I was new to this site then, but I still got to enjoy all the pictures taken at Gary and Sue's, "Bash At The Ranch".

Time has a way of escaping our notice. I remember when the "Bash at The Ranch" was first thought about. Enough BBS folks said it was a nice thought to have a submariner reunion of sorts. Gary and Sue said they would host one. About time fleeting. I found Ron's BBS June 1997. At that time they were doing the "Run to Perth". Back those previous times the BBS sites were much more active. The Torsk work weekend started from a BBS. I'm remiss about forgetting a diesel engine running, it did result in a successful start. It was all about good volunteers that brought these things about. I'm sure I echo a BZ thanks to all of them.
