Grandpa. I've never met you.. but I've always known you.





Mommy's post:
"A favorite pastime among some of the crew members while docked was to bait seagulls. On the docks they would hook a line with fish and wait for the gulls to eat it then as the gull took flight, they would yank the bird back down into the sea.

My father told us that he and his buddy would wait until the bastards were started then go along the dock and kick each one in the ass and send them into the water!!!

I wonder how I inherited my sense of social justice??? "

"Found this at my sister's house- never saw it before.... my father told us all he was a cook in the Navy- he wasn't- he was a coxswain (at least I don't think this a cook rank by the info I got on-line- Ralph, do you have any idea?) and he received this letter of commendation. I already did some research and found the Captain's son and emailed him!"
