Subject: Met a submariner

We went to a wake for our friend's father last night. (Capt. Lou Albano for any of you wrestling fans out there).

It was quite a mob scene since he was also very involved in the community over the years.

As we waited in line, a guy was leaving and my wife says to me, "I think that man had a dolphin pin on his lapel".

I catch up to him and sure enough he does. I asked him what boats he was on and it was Polaris Boomers.

But, the interesting part was he said, "I was also Adm. Rickover's personal aide for several years".

It was not an appropriate time and place to start a BS session so I gave him my card and cell # and told him to give me a call.
