That's the one in Palo Alto.......used to be a Volvo dealership. 5 miles up the road is the Ferrari dealership one of only a few owned directly by Ferrari. Silicon Valley is full of pretentious Asshats, these 2 dealerships confirm that if your around Palo Alto downtown and hungry......try Nola's it's one of my favorites.

McLaren sent me an invitation to do a test drive and track experience session......I have better things to spend my $$$$ on that some British built depreciating asset.

Vince ... since you asked nicely here are a few pics from the inactivation ceremony. This visit was more about seeing the guys, I left in '86 so ... it was like a 29 year reunion! I'm the not so handsome guy wearing my service dress blues!


Four sonarmen back in the shack!

Good friends ... I'm the only one in uniform!

Standing the watch just like back in the day!

Two good sonar friends and the ship we so loved!

The guest speaker was actually once the captain in '96 ... that's our girl!

That's OUR captain ... would have gone to the bottom for him if he asked!


I will update some photos when everyone send me their pics. Some good memories and good friends!
