| At random: USS R-6 was fitted the first prototype US submarine snorkel at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in the closing months of the European part of WW II in April / May 1945 and successfully tested it off Fort Lauderdale, Fl. as the war against Japan ended in August 1945. The snorkel was removed from the USS R-6 and she was decommissioned and scrapped in September 1945. |

COMSUBBBS Posts: 2540 Location: Wappingers Falls, NY | Subject: RE: 45 years ago, last Monday.... Happy "Belated" Birthday, Tim...and you too, Geno...I, too, had a b'day this month...got one year on ya, Geno...but who's counting...I am... and I am happy I have "survived" this long...and am taking every day that I can as a blessing from the "Big Guy" upstairs. Being one of the lucky ones who made the Cruise & then spending time in the Great Northwest had a lot to do with it, too. I have not had the opportunity to spend this much time with my husband in the last 3 years...and being surrounded by wonderful friends didn't detract from our down time. It was a chance for us to catch up...on many, many things. To make some "life affirming" decisions for the future. His "outlook" on life had a major overhaul...and it was infectious... My hubby is facing some medical issues in the next couple of weeks...one is scheduled for the Wednesday, Halloween... fun day to have surgery, huh! He is to have his gall bladder out...relatively easy...but not if you are the size of my hubby. This could be a determining factor in a lot of medical issues he has had recently...least of which is a recurring bout kidney stones...and now the reason for gall bladder removal...several "iddy biddy" ones, but one the size of a golf ball. So, with this surgery & a few other medical items on our plate, I get down on my hands and knees every night and thank the Good Lord for giving me one more day, every day, to wake up and see the world around me...and know that I will be around to help my dear "Garry" face whatever it is before him. So, this is why I "count" each day as a sign that I am to be here on this Earth...at least for a little while longer. I have been blessed with a wonderful family, despite their imperfections...and that family includes "this brotherhood"... for some strange reason, God has let me be a part of it all...and to this I say "Thank You"...for you are "all" family in my eyes...and to be a part of it...I just say...CAN IT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!!! Thank you, Dear Friends. (100_2112A.jpg) Attachments ----------------  100_2112A.jpg (22KB - 983 downloads) | ||
