Severely off topic, but . . .

I don't think I ever noticed that there is an "OldHP" and an "Old HP" before.

Me either.

I got them confused years ago. I know one of them but not the other.

January 6-1980, First job was Three Mile Island. Working instruments shop /as we called it then the Sugar Shack.

Times were great. Things have changed so much. So many of the Good HP's have passed. Not a lot of us left.

Lol Lol

Mr. Troja,

It seems we are even as you have confused me a few times over the years that we have worked together. As to  my NukeWorker ID it seems at 62 I am the younger of the two Old HP / OLDHP, however I registered mine before the older OLDHP registered his. I would gladly change my ID to Retired HP but my NSS/IRM/ARC/CE/ABB/Numanco/ESG/PSESI/Bartlett/BNI/BWB/BHI retirement plan doesn't start until 45 years of service.

Actually, I realized it a couple of years ago when someone sent me a PM that was obviously not for me.  I checked the listing and redirected the sender!  It is too late now to even think about changing, because there are those who recognize the difference.

Back to the Topic  [beer] time!

The confusion, then, is mutual. Let me know when that retirement kicks in. I am due the same from pretty much the same companies.

Back to the topic, which is already in progress...

   Speaking of old, here is a current picture of the Navy Nuclear Power School at Mare Island that I attended at the beginning of my nuclear career. There was a sign over the entrance that said. "At this school, the smartest must work as hard as those who struggle to pass". Hyman Rickover.

We may have seen each other, I spent most of 73 there on the Spadefish then a couple of months on the Finback in 74. Not the nicest place to work Navy or Civilian.

Except in the winter with those sub-zero wind chills coming off the lake.  Otherwise, yeah, great place.
