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.
