I spent a lot of my time in NJ when I was stationed in Norfolk. I sure did get to travel a lot. I loved traveling around, and seeing some great spots, some historical spots, and some beautiful scenery too. I was on a sub tender, so I didn't get to see too much time on the water.

That was about the only sea duty they had for women back then.
The powers that be just authorized women on subs this year...
Bob Dylan said it when he wrote "The Times They Are a Changin' "

Did ya ever party at The Red Baron Inn ? Just off Va. Beach Blvd on
1st. Colonial Road... that's where I used to hang-out.

Right. I don't remember that place you mentioned. I was stationed at CincLantFleet. I spent some time on NOB first. Then I was in King's Bay, Georgia, then on to Pascagoula, MS. I went to boot camp in Orlando, Florida. I worked 12 hour shifts at CincLantFleet. I spent all my off time in New Jersey mostly. (I was engaged to a guy from there)

Kelly, i can just see you now...........listenin' to Percy Sledge.........."When a Man Love a Women"...............

Isn't that the TRUTH....lol...I love that song!!!

Now "how'd" i know that..... ...........bout a year later.....i could just see you again............Otis Redding, Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay."

Cruel... but pretty close. I dated him for 5 years, we were engaged for about 3 years. Jealousy is what ruined it. Otherwise we'd still be together, I have no doubt.

Kelly, life is very, very often cruel............that just comes with the territory..............thing is.........you just gotta pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back in the saddle..... .....undoubtedly you know all that............but just think.....you've also got all of us here.
btw.........did you see somewhere, where WayneB was asking you if you are going to tye at the Bug?

That was a very long time ago Mark. I met someone five years after that, and got married. That lasted a little under 5 years. I have two beautiful kids, now grown. I gave up on meeting anyone. If it happens, it happens. If not, I am cool either way. At least now I get to do what I want, within reason. I get to tie flies, and fish. I don't have to justify my spending habits for my fly tying obsession. Oh, yes Wayne and I have been chatting in pm. I told him I wasn't gonna tie this time at the Sowbug. I probably will next time, if I like it enough to come. You know I am sure, I will LOVE IT....rotfl.
