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)

Where is Aaron, our Canadian buddy? I can't remember what he called himself on the board, but I love the name Aaron, so hope everyone knows who I mean.

Cora, my dear, "Hairy" is alive and well. The promotion he received at his government job takes much of his time. Long hours and 6 days a week and sometimes 7. I'm trying to talk him into retiring, but, if he was to retire the shores of Newfoundland would begin to close in on him and his lovely wife, Rae.
He promises to get back amongest us soon. Maybe with Al Gore's global warming we'll be able to go visit them without freezing our bazingus off and relax on their sunny beaches.
