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.
Okay, I know this seems a bit corny, but when I was a wee lad in the early 1960's, one of my favorite TV shows was a program that were very much a precursor to Star Trek, it was called Fireball XL5, this started me on my Science Fiction kick...
