Just Checking In

I am in Florida relaxing. Saturday I head to Indiana for the wedding.

Everything is good.

Miss me.

  1. Good afternoon, Maggie. I stumbled across your blog while searching for some information, and I noted that your father had served in USS Norris in the '50s. My father-in-law, Fred Tucker, was CO of Norris from 1955 - 1957. Do these dates correspond with your father's service? Fred was an ex-submariner who was drafted into destroyer duty when the Navy had a shortage of surface skippers. The theory (and I believe it was Arleigh Burke who propounded it) was that there was no one better at ASW than an ex-submariner.

    From your profile, you could be my twin sister (20 years apart) with many similar tastes and interests. I am ex-Army, but I have about 2 1/2 years of sea duty in USS Midway as a civilian. Best job I ever had. My wife and I live in NH, but I was Boston born, and raised in Winthrop.

    Let me know about your father's service in Norris. You can contact me at h_titus98@yahoo.com. I don't do Twitter or Facebook.

    Thanks for the bandwidth.
