5 Tugs loose to NYC sludge
Rob must be dumping his holding tank near the intreped. The highest
tide of the year and 5 harbor tugs could not pull the Intrepid out of the NY sludge. Trapped in crap she is. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,227681,00.html Joe |

How dare you post something on topic to this group, Joe! just kidding Did you ever find out where your relatives live in Moore? You could always try looking them up he http://www.switchboard.com/bin/cgiqa...20028&LNK=93:9 If you and Mysterry ever get up this way, you are welcomed to come over for a few beers and I'll show you my collection of patches and gold leaf and wing pins from when I used to launch and recover military aircraft back in the early '80s. I even have a pin-up poster with a few other women who I worked with...;-) People Magazine came out for a few days and took over 500 photos of me with the different aircraft, but they lost their contract right before it was time to be published. I have pictures of the Thunderbirds and the Canadian snowbirds (actually in the cockpit) among a least 100 that they would send to me or I took myself on the tarmac. LP |

They both passed away in the early 80's http://www.switchboard.com/bin/cgiqa...20028&LNK=93:9 If you and Mysterry ever get up this way, you are welcomed to come over for a few beers and I'll show you my collection of patches and gold leaf and wing pins from when I used to launch and recover military aircraft back in the early '80s.

Some of the first women in the Navy reported aboard my ship just before I reported. I did not think bird farms had women aboard since they are consider combat shipsin the 80's, that rule has changed now, infact a lady off the Gompers just took command of a new destroyer.

Day late and a dollar short I have pictures of the Thunderbirds and the Canadian snowbirds (actually in the cockpit) among a least 100 that they would send to me or I took myself on the tarmac. That cool....I got to fly in a russian mig a few years back. Joe LP |

I used to live on NE 12th ST about 10 years ago before I bought the home I am currently living in now. It's now an apartment complex. They had about 3 acres on the south side of Moore. They both passed away in the early 80's I heard today they are building a new fire station on some of that empty acreage on the south side. If you haven't been there in the last 10 years, you probably wouldn't recognize the place now. Were you in the Navy? Absolutely not! I would have never made it in the military. I've always been great at giving commands, not receiving them. My pilots used to call me "Boss Lady". :-) Or just a contractor at a test facility? Yes and no...

That is true. Many fighter pilots commented that the women in the different branches of the service couldn't do what we were doing. When I first started, they wanted us to pin the fake bombs, until one girl nearly got sucked into jet engine. I have pictures of the Thunderbirds and the Canadian snowbirds (actually in the cockpit) among a least 100 that they would send to me or I took myself on the tarmac. That cool....I got to fly in a russian mig a few years back. That really cool. I've never had that opportunity yet. We had an International fighter pilot fly in from Europe and we took out a couple of single engine Pipers over the nearby lake to have mock dog fights. This guy was so excited about getting to learn how to fly a single recip engine. I was amazed, to say the least. My girlfriends would get calls from a couple of A-6 pilots and they said they would be here in like a couple of hours from the west coast. Pretty amazing, and all on the taxpayers dime. Here's a 8x10 pic that Ed Schneider gave me back in the early '80s: http://members.cox.net/capt.neal/fast%20eddie.jpg (my name is cropped to protect the guilty) If you see him now, he's really aged, but of course I still look the same! ;-) http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Pho...C00-0281-8.jpg Someday I will get out the collection and make a website of memories during that time. (Well, except for the love letters...) LP |

He had just flown a top secret mission over Communist territory (that's the SR-71 in the background) to get a first hand view himself! Mach 3 at tree top level, rocket exhaust frying ox carts in the barnyard! |
