Where are you these days?

Retired for the last 14 years but this last year is the first year not doing some short work in the Oak Ridge area.
I have eight acres with a 120-year-old farmhouse that needs some TLC just a little northwest of Oak Ridge. It is at the foot of Walden Ridge the longest ridge in the US from West Virginia down to Alabama. We have some chickens and if Boss lady gets her way some pigs soon. For those of you old enough to remember "Green Acres" I am not the one on the tractor.

  How many grandkids do you have now?

Just recently completed 42 years of remedial husband training and her effort continues. Four grandkids and five great grandkids. Usually, I am the vacation destination for family most recently my daughter and granddaughter and crew invaded with my 18-year-old six-foot six grandson. We had a birthday party for my 2-year-old great granddaughter and 2-year-old great grandniece, born just days apart, cuteness overload.

I am active with the United States Submarine Veterans (USSVI). I am the base commander for the local chapter and district commander for eight bases from Cincinnati down to northern Alabama. I have been helping with a submarine memorial that is an effort to bring the sail of the USS Houston to Bissell Park in Oak Ridge, mainly I have been connecting the American Museum of Science and Energy with Navy departments and information of submarine sails from other submarine memorials. AMSE is also looking to acquire a periscope for the museum. Initial plans include a statue of Admiral Rickover who got his start here at the Graphite Reactor with a Degree of Pile Engineering (D.O.P.E.). A little trivia George Wallace author of Hunter Killer the book the movie was based on was the CO of the Houston at one time and is an active member of the USSVI. I am keeping in touch with him as the dedication to the memorial comes closer.

Congratulations sir. You are a true Lifer.

Mike I just noticed that the bottom of my post has a "one person likes this". A new feature? Where is the Karma button?
