USS BOSTON Sail and Rudder Co, Ltd. or Is there life after your boat gets scrapped?

I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.

Memorable photographs...

Here's a photo of one of my favorite get-away-spots, Algonquin Provincial Park "Up North" in Ontario, Canada (near Sudbury, Ontario) I'll be headed up there this Memorial Day Weekend!!!

Here's a photo I took of Yosemite Valley and Half Dome in September of 2000, so many beautiful picture-perfect spots out there!

Here's another view from almost 10,000 feet high taken in Yosemite Park (Dog Lake) in September 2000. I tell you, high-altitude hiking takes a lot out of you!

How can anyone say that there isn't a God after seeing this kind of beauty?
