Thank you. Thank you. Unacustomed as I am to public speaking (:rotfl: ), I would just like to thank all my supporters (the checks are in the mail [:rotfl: ]). I would also like to add blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and furthermore blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah and to sum up blah blah blah

Not to make light of the occasion, but this is really cool! Thanks.

I think the first thing you need to do is explain to the non Brits that Cornwall isn't in Wales :rotfl:

Neal says I have to do a bio or I have to clean the scuppers; my choice.

Born in Dallas, Texas (

) back in the middle of the last century.
Moved to Lost Angels, Cantafordya when I was two. (That's L.A. California for those not versed in "Old Sailor Speak").
Started playing guitar in '65, and bass in '67 (the Summer of Love, hey!

)
Spent a year at college in the hippie heyday.
Dropped out and joined The Navy in '69.
Got taught to be a radio guy and put on a Zerstorer (sorry, my keyboard won't do umlauts).
Got sent to the first 'Bad War'; saw the lovely Viet Nam coastline. Did fire support for the jarheads, search and rescue of the coast of Hanoi (searched a lot; never got asked to rescue anybody), played escort for the carriers Ranger and Bon Homme Richard (did pick up the pilots from a downed Phantom once, but that's a story in itself). Came back home to Long Beach. Got out on a special discharge in December of '70.
Moved to the great mountains of Utah in '71.
Got married in '73.
Got divorced in '85. Bummer, but I have two lovely daughters to show for it. And no, you can't have their numbers, so don't ask!

Been doing a lot of different jobs all along; never found one that stuck.
Been in and out of bands all this time; still playing off and on (mostly recording with a couple of friends).
Found subsim almost five years ago now.
Got one foot in the grave, but the other one still dreams about stages and spotlights.
I read at least four books per month, anything from mysteries to biographies, but mostly tend toward the great classics and non-fiction.
Love history.
Love planes and ships, and love to play subsims!

That's me, okay? Now go away and leave me alone!
