 I was cajoled into drawing in the 5th grade when the teacher asked if I was participating in a county-wide school art contest. When I hemmed and hawed she said, "You are," and handed me a sheet of poster paper. I ended up winning the contest and went onto win several more art shows in high school (mostly charcoal and pen and ink).  Got my start into photography when I was a teenager and mother was the editor of a local paper. There was a story that needed covering but no reporters around. Mom handed me one of those old Yashica twin-lens reflex 120mm cameras (the kind you looked down into view finder), a pad of paper and sent me off. Though I was nervous, I wrote an adequate news story and took some decent photos!  --

My first GWX career has ended, so I'm trying some of the single missions before I start the next one....exciting stuff.
Playing 'hide and seek' with a destroyer in the middle of a convoy, but nearly got run down by the big ship (periscope survived but ride was quite rocky for a while.....)  A direct hit from Bismarck (no work for me....Bismarck also sank a destroyer that was hunting me)  |

 These guys are either brave or foolish, we are some 200km off of the eastern shores of the Black Sea here and they are racing eastward  But wait, we are here in an canoe, what does that make us then?

Retro. Found this while looking through some old screens. Just to remind us what the vanilla version looked like (and an older video card).
