I had the willpower to quit and lost it somewhere along the line of being stressed out. Hopefully will find the willpower to do it again!

I'll answer my own question. No, there will not be a generous renumeration in editing old Fusty's book. Tight? Tighter than a nuns knicker elastics!

Anything about the "flood" of 1982? Did I mention I have pictures of it flooding in the 50's?

Will help you anyway I can.

After exchanging a couple emails with cRusty yesterday, I don't think he'll ever finish it the way he wants. Maybe he should split the material up into Volumes and try to get them published seperately.....

In all seriousness, I hope Rusty does complete the book and get it published. I would imagine a specialist naval publisher might well see a market for it.

Oh yeah. One Admiral did offer to get it published through the Naval Institute. That is if he was listed as co-author and got half the royalties.

Oh well, as each month goes by I find something good to add to it or a picture to be replaced by a better one. I just bought a photo off of ebay showing our Fish Hook catching an FBM in the air. If the cameraman stepped back a ways he would have caught me on the lower deck of the Staging Vessel manning the 16mm slow motion camera.

Just realized that only ex-yardbirds like RALs pal and I know what Fish Hook and Staging Vessel were. I'm sure most of you knew that FBM stood for Fleet Ballistic Missile.

Mr. L.,
Any word yet on how Mo is faring these days or repair schedule prospects?
