Baltimore will be part of Fleet week from October 3rd to October 9th. I think the Blue Angles will also be doing their fly overs in Baltimore and Annapolis during some of the days.

Today the USS ORION AS18 was launched after her keel was laid in 1941 and commissioned in 1943. June 24TH 1942 was her launch date. A long time ago and totally scrapped in 1993. Half Big Al + a little

May 18 to May 25Th Blue Angles will be in Baltimore to do their fly overs. Hope to see them as they fly over the house from middle river. Maybe this year they will do their exercises over middle river as they practice their maneuvers. Half Big Al + a little

There has been two more sightings below the water but because of stormy weather they are on hold till conditions greatly improve. There is hope that one of the three sightings will be San Juan. Lets hope one will be.

It has been reported that a new sighting has been located which could be the San Juan. Russia is sending its research vessel down for a closer look. Lets hope it is her and they can bring closer to the love ones who are waiting for some answers.

There has been a possible sighting of the San Juan in about 1500 feet of water. Underwater craft are going to be sent to the location to check if it is the missing boat and if so can they find out what caused it to implode. Half Big Al + a little

I was reading more about the missing boat today. If the boat had an implosion it was possibly in about 10,000 feet of water depth. No way to get to her. Also as we lost the first women in space they had the first woman submariner on board as one of their officers. Just a sad way to go. RIP crew. Hal...

The way things are looking the boat and its crew are now history. She was to be returning home with battery problems but then there was a indication of an explosion detected somewhere in the last reported area she was in. Sounds like a possible hydrogen gas explosion on board that was detected. If s...

Thank you very much Tim. I feel like only twenty years old except for the leg pain and back pain and cannot hear audible sound anymore or very little sound that is audible. But I am hoping to reach that young age of 100. Half Big Al

Many of you were not born around June 6 1944 when General Dwight D Eisenhower ordered our troops to invade Normandy. It was a victory for the United States of America but it cost us around 9000 of our fathers, sons, friends to win the battle. So remember all those who gave so much for us to be here ...

For those who cannot remember the great DUKE, JOHN WAYNE, his birthday is today. If he was still alive he would be 110 years old. R.I.P.

I wonder how many of you can remember that terrible Sunday. I was five years at that time and can remember Roosevelt coming on the radio as I was listening to one of my programs and made the announcement that the Jap forces have struck our Navy in Pear Harbor which is an act of war. This will be a d...

Hope everyone will have a wonderful and safe holiday even though the weather is supposed to stink.
