I do not have words to describe the incredible trip several of us took on the "Jolly Fisherman" from Moss Point, MS to Buras, LA and Ft. Jackson. April 9 - 15, 2003 will remain with me always. It was a fantasy vacation :o)
Sam, Ann, Aaron, Lucky, David....thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was at Ft. Jackson, S.C. twenty years ago as a Soldier, I really enjoyed that part of the country.
