Very good job on the pictures... Was there a number of years ago with the wife.. We are both Amateur radio operators and were invited to a private tour of the radio room and asked if we wished to operate the station... :thumbup:

Thanks for the corrections. I usually do not post so early in the morning but saturday was a busy day and my usual checking was not done after the coffee.

Many of the social graces have been exchanged for the down and dirty way of living. We had a friends who were having a yard sale and we talked about how the current generation does not set a table or even care what they eat off of.
Their idea is to sit in front of the TV with their baseball hat on backwards, a plate of some Mexican food while they watch a football game. When the family use to sit together around the table they got to be a family. Sometimes they even learned a few things that they still carry with them today. As for the change in ship design the architecture reflects profit by pandering to pleasure.
