I recently spent a week in San Diego for a conference and was able to have an excellent meal with Jim and Monica. Later Jim took me on a tour of his ship, the USS Thatch. What a treat–Jim is an excellent tour guide. I also learned that aluminum can achieve a self-sustaining burn and the tradition of the chiefs’ coin.
Jim Arrives!
Jim flew into Bahrain earlier today and we were able to get over the causeway and welcome him! I thought this was worth posting a picture on the blog. We were thinking that the last time he saw Nora was when she was about 9 months old! As we were driving away though she did remark that she may go live with Uncle Jim because he was so nice.
