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.

It was just a week ago...that I was golfing with some shipmate friends!
Yeah, we were at NTC Great Lakes enjoying some golf, Rick Geddes, Cornie O'Driscoll and myself hitting a little ball across the grass and chasing it in the hot sun! ...Trying to put it in a little hole....what a game!
