  1. I grew up at my grandparents home in NC. From the back of their home was our large garden about 2 football fields long & 1 wide. From there the land rose up in the distant about a mile away was a massive textile mill with 2 extremely large smoke stacks at one end. The plant itself had to be a mile long. It was a beautiful sight to see the smoke rising up into the evening sky. All that is gone including my grandparents home that was in our family for 90 years. The older I get I learned you can never go back home. All my childhood homes have been wiped away as if they never existed. PJ

  2. In 1986 when the Top Gun movie came out a young son of friends who was only 12 went to see this movie. He came home and told his parents that is what he wanted to do in life. I am proud to say he did exactly that in the 1990's and made the US Navy his career. Shalom

  3.  @DidntSay  I guess it was. Back then to me it was a great place to grow up. It fed our family including my uncle's and aunt's family all year. You are welcome. PJ

  7.  @Cacowninja  I'm not sure. Back in 1977 I went to navy recruitment center 45 miles away in Durham, NC & told the recruiter take me. That I wanted out of Henderson & NC. After my grandparents passed away in the early 20's I have only returned 3 times to visit family members outside Henderson. If you drive down the road that had 20 or so family homes-farms in the 60's today you would do it quickly with the car doors locked. PJ

  10. I was there in 1977. The Brooklyn Navy Yard was my first duty station out of A school. I grew up in the south and in my 18 months of duty in NYC I loved every minute. The people locally that I met were fantastic and for a kid from a small town, NYC was a super maze that you needed a couple lifetimes to explore. PJ

  11. My mom was a really big sports fan and a really big fan of the Chicago Cubs. I have no idea why, but when I would come home for a visit she would have the Cub games on when ever they played. I became a Cubs fan because of her. Sadly mom passed away one year before the Cubs won their World Series in 2016. If there is baseball in Heaven she was rooting for the Cubs & still is. Shalom

  12. Going to a drive in theater with your family, girlfriend and/or wife was a great time. I loved going to the movies, but something was lost with the indoor 15 plus rooms to watch movies. I have not paid to see a movie for 5 years. It is just not worth the $$ or the time. We have lost something really special with the end of the drive in theater. Shalom

  14. In the early 1980's I was stationed at the Mare Island naval base. This was just a bit north of San Francisco. A month after being stationed there I travelled around Napa Valley & San Francisco. By luck I stumbled on the ghost "reserve" fleet near San Francisco. It was an incredible sight to see all these old ships side by side. There were some of the small escort carriers among all the other ships. I wanted to be stationed at Mare Island as the battleship USS California BB-44 was built at this yard in the 1920's. It is the only battleship to have been built at this base. My dad served on the California in 1944-45. It was a great duty station at Mare Island. 𝙎𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙢
