My Grandson Tanner. Seems like the baseball pic was taken yesterday. He's the honor graduate of boot camp for his Marine platoon. He and his brother are going through infantry training now.

That’s awesome, Greg!

Thank you. Here's Scott and Tanner at boot camp graduation. Tanner was also selected platoon guide. I stifled tears watching him lead the kids through the marching routines. They're actually men now, kids no more. A brigadier general presented Tanners plaque for honor graduate

Step back into the golden age of travel with TWA’s Lockheed L-1011 TriStar cabin.
Introduced in the 1970s, the L-1011 was known for its widebody comfort, spacious seating, and advanced technology for its time — including a quieter ride thanks to its Rolls-Royce RB211 engines. ��
Compared to today’s cabins, the L-1011 offered generous legroom, larger windows, and a touch of retro luxury, while modern airliners focus more on efficiency, mood lighting, and high-tech entertainment systems.
It’s a fascinating contrast: the classic elegance of 1970s TWA versus the digital convenience of today’s fleets.
And notice, no one in pajamas or looking like a homeless person.

Man jailed after fighting 3 college kids who shot his dog 40 times.
When three college kids returned home on break, they used BB guns for target practice on a neighbor’s dog shooting him more than 40 times. The punishment? A fine and community service…
The dog’s owner couldn’t accept it. He stormed over to their house and challenged all three at once. “Fight someone your own size,” he told them. What they didn’t know, he was a black belt in jujutsu. By the time police arrived, the kids were bloodied and broken, lesson learned. The man left in handcuffs, but with a smile on his face.
He’ll spend 30 days in prison. His dog is recovering at his mother’s home. When asked why, he said simply:
“Kids need to learn there are consequences to their actions.

Congratulations Dad, Scott and Tanner!

A photographer took these at Compo Beach in our small town of Westport CT back in the 60’s.

Playing on the cannons was the thing to do for little kids. They’re still there.
