Hi Bill,

I guess we shouldn't have complained, because in the yards they installed the
freeze dried machines.  Talk about bad, they made the ranch coffee I grew up on
look good.  Ranch coffee was 3/4 coffee, 3/4 you don't ask i won't tell, type of
coffee.

Glad to here from another submariner.  What boats were you on?  I was on 
Billfish,
and the Memphis out of Groton, Conn.

Rick
