ANNAPOLIS PLUS ONE2245 viewsI had the distinct pleasure of showing four members of the 2013 Annapolis graduating class around my favorite waterfall playground.

As soon as I get their names straight I will post them. From left to right, four Cadets, a friend and new crew member, Steve, and the little brown critter is Pumpkin.

How did the roaming knob get in there? Oh, the Falls is Pine Ridge Falls.

If they had tried a little harder they could have been in the Coast Guard. :)

Jeremiah 2214 viewsJeremiah was a Bullfrog, was a good friend of mine, never spoke a single word, but he had some mighty fine wine.....

Got to figure out who wrote that stupid song so I can give him credit, whether he wants it or not.

Don't really know about the wine but, you can visit Jeremiah at Evins Mill.

CG 1275 Remembered2213 viewsTo the best of my knowledge and ancient memory, this was the first Coast Guard aircraft I flew on~1964, at Elizabeth City, NC.

I had just arrived from eight Years of AIMING HIGH, USAF. For this I gave up B-52s and an eight hour day.
