 | 7.USS Olympia MuseumThese are pictures of the USS Olympia which I took while on vacation with my brother in Pennslyvania. Please click on the link below to learn more about this remarkable ship.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Olympia_(C-6)
The Olympia is an example of technology in transition, steam powered, but could still carry sail, operating her required a lot of hand labor, but she was one of the first ships equiped with an electric generator and electric lights.
For her time, she was a high tech weapon of war, equal to the Zumwalt Class destroyers being built today.
Follow along with me as I take a walk through this piece of history. | |

 | 10.USS Midway MuseumThis November I had an opportunity to travel to San Diego and visit the USS Midway Museum.
USS Midway is a aircraft carrier that served the United States from 1945 to 1992. As a museum, she represents something special to me, because I served in the US Navy from 1980 to 1984 aboard a different aircraft carrier the USS Ranger. | |

 | 14.Vacation in Vietnam 2009It’s become a tradition for my family to visit our relatives and friends in Vietnam about once every 5 years or so. Thus, since our last visit was in 2005, we started thinking about another visit. This particular trip was timed to coincide with the wedding of one of my wife’s good friends and the return of her parents to the United States.
On this trip we would be accompanied by my father, an 83 year old gentleman, whose love of life has been unaffected by his age.
So it was, on November 21st that we loaded up our luggage, and children and set forth to travel half way around the world to the tropical nation of Vietnam! | |
