Hi All: Know it's been a few days since I did a Blog. I did one a while back, had a bunch of photo's all set up and it was the biggest Blog I've done. Well, I hit some key on this dumb lap top and lost the whole blog. Been upset about ever since.


We are in Huntsville, AL now. Are at the RV campground at the Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. The town is so much bigger than it was when we were here in 1979. Cannot find my way around without the GPS.


Have had a great dinner and evening with Jim and Sharon Nelson who lives here. Was a super evening with them. Then last night we had another good evening with Bob and Seal Gherdes, with the Nelson's there also. Was another grand evening. Many "Sea Stories" from Bob of course. And another wonderful dinner. Will not fit in my clothes if we stay here much longer..


We have another date with Paul and Pat Gulick tonight. Have not seen them in years as well. Meeting them at a restaurant on the othere side of the mountain we have to go over, then a visit to where they live.


Plan to get together with Jim and Sharon tomorrow for lunch before we get on the road Monday for Ashville, NC for one night, then on to Clayton, NC for a couple days visiting Bob and Dorene Boardman.


Photo's above are of our campsite here in Huntsville; Me standing next to the bottome of the Saturn V nozzles. It sure is a big missile. The biggest ever. Another shot of that missile standing up outside the museum we toured here.


Having a good time here. Did check out the base. Could not find my old office building out there. Did find the PX and Commissary though. Didn't spend much in there. Prices were much higher than Publix at home....


Amy and I are still talking to each other, so all must be going OK. Will try to keep the Blog up to date better from now on..


Semper Fi
