At random: "Without courage, you might as well not be in it. You’ve got to have courage--moral courage, physical courage--and honor. Honor means telling the truth even when it might not be to your advantage" Retired Capt. Charles W. Rush Jr. (85), Navy Cross recipient, when asked to give advice to Chiefs and Junior Officers in today's submarine service.

Subject: A little more on Hairy

A few folks have been asking me about Hairy's condition.
I have little to tell since we are dependent on his sister-in-law for information.
She recently made this photo of the two of them available. How old it is is unknown. There was, as far as I know, no information along with it.
My assumption is that he has stabilized somewhat. He appears to still be with us. He seems to be sitting in a wheelchair.

Wish I could get a message to him to let him know we remember and try to cheer him up.

Hairy sent me this pic of his beloved Rachel. Also is a house near where he and Rachel lived. Beautiful countryside me thinks....
