With the bad also comes the good. The cycles of life continue. to all.

Dean's list in engineering. No insignificant feat there.

Unless we're talking about driving trains, in which case it's probably a bit less academically impressive, but no less cool.

I just read that Herwin passed away, too...
May Des and him rest in peace...

A Christmas Toast

To Crews who sail Men of War
and those that build them on the shore,
Men in Freighters, men in Tankers,
Men inships financed by Bankers,
Ships Designed for extra speed,
Slow ships, fast ships,
ships which need radar screens for times of fog,
Ships with records on the log,
Ships which sail on Christmas day
torn by wind and washed with Spray,
Ships in Harbour, ships at Sea,
Ships which carry oil and tea,
Ships importing meat and grain,
Ships which bring us home again,
Ships with masts Aloof and tall,
Mastless ships and ships quite small,
Motor ships and Ancient steamers,
Ships conceived by daring dreamers,
Ships of orthodox design,
Ships which often cross the line,
Ships which ply on coastal waters,
Ships with ice upon there quarters,
Submarines down in the deep,
to gaurd our shores a watch to keep,

To all who sail, and those who build,
ships of any kind,
we've filled our glasses,
now here come the toast.

WE wish each one of you a most
Happy Christmas and New Year.
Much to please and none to fear,
good health, much wealth,
good times, good sport.

God speed, good luck.
Come home safe to port.

After reading that article, I'm relieved. I expected a different hybrid.

You know...sharks with freakin' laser beams coming out of their heads. That's all I wanted-sharks with freaking laser beams.

[Schanilec]

I would like to petition the Thread Denizens for their opinion on a matter. Some of you may know I have started a narrative type AAR for my current game. I was thinking of placing two small cameo roles into the AAR using the names Harry Erwin and Des Wallace. They would be just one time entries and I assure all that they would both be portrayed in a very positive light.

Do people think that would be appropriate? I intend only to honor our friends and thought this might be a nice way

[Schanilec]

I can't see any reason why not.

Hi all,

Leo,

I have to agree regarding Des and his high spirits. My last message from him was dated 14 November. He was relocating to his sister's home which was a one-floor plan. Said he just needed a few weeks to get settled and then he would be back to gaming.

Cheerful and considerate to the end. He was a true gentleman

Tim

Thanks for sharing this with us Tim...

Hiya Tim,

I don't think it would be inappropriate per se, but I don't think it's something I would do for some time. Still too fresh a wound...[:(]
