Awesome place there Spare! Even more cool with all the family history. Make the time to put it to use!

Dave.you and I have talked about your dad's place at Sneed's ferry many times...I know you know how fortunate you are to have had that place..yer very lucky...I agree w/what Randleman Boater said above about making new memories too!!

We toured the Lexington in Corpus Christie when my oldest was about Kendall's age...she lost a little purse w/$35 she had saved up for the trip on that carrier...she learned a lesson early...

Great pics of SF and aboard ship!!...:hi:

Great Pics Spare!! You and your family have a great place. Spend all the time you can with your dad there, they slip away so fast! My dad took me to see the USS North Carolina When I was a very small kid. Still remember the trip! It was great!!

SPARE what a great place!!!! if you dad is still around go there with him as much as possible!!!! you wont be able to replace those times anywere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We operated with her for two different Med Cruises. Once in 63 and again in 65. Then it was off to Norfolk for refitting, then Panama, then San Diego, Pearl and the next thing I knew we were in Nam. But our time with the Forrestal in the Med was by far some of the best times ever.
