Ok...technically I didn't take the photograph. Fr. Mitch took the picture with my camera. His wife, Denise is also a connoisseur of hats, and she arrived at church this morning wearing close to the same hat I was wearing.
It was a Kodak moment so Fr. Mitch offered to take the photo.
After graduating from High School in May 1969 and while attending College I received my draft notice for the U. S. Army. Not caring for the color green I chose to follow in my Uncle’s footsteps and I joined the U. S. Navy in January 1971...30 years later...
