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.

All Good Runs Come to an End....

...So is happened last night with the Buffalo Sabres...

I guess life in the NHL is like life in the Navy, or aboard our BOSTON's. Sometimes you give your heart and soul and have it taken away from you; in our cases decommissioned and scrapped.
