Newport News Shipbuilding, Building The Theodore Roosevelt Aircraft Carrier

That's a cool job.  :aok


I was in 7th grade.  At this time of the day, probably playing electric football.  :)

Not yet among the living.  That being said, I know that I was very much in planning at the time, because my parents were methodical almost to a fault.  There is almost exactly 4 years separation between the three siblings in my family...conveniently how long most bachelor degrees take.  Efficiency at it's finest  :lol

Strangely enough, that applies to my two cousins, myself, and my nephew.

That and just about ever male on my mother's side and my father are named John. So, it's my middle name.
