At random: The late Capt. Don Ulmer, USN SS (Ret.), and noted submarine author, began his military career by enlisting in the U.S. Navy in 1947 and in 1949 while serving as an electrical technician E-4 aboard the submarine USS Clamagore, he was transferred to the Naval Academy. When he asked his commanding officer why he was being sent to Annapolis, the skipper replied, "I don't think you're smart enough to make E-5 and I need the bunk space." Ulmer graduated in 1954 and in 1967 returned to command Clamagore, possibly the only officer to command a U.S. warship having served on it as an enlisted man.

45 Years ago today at approximately 2:40Pm (EDT) the Preacher put a curse on me. He said " I now pronounce you man and wife". Actually would not trade Her for all the tea in china or the gold in Alaska. I could not have found a better woman if I had searched for a hundred years. Yeah I am Bragging. I am one LUCKY SOB.

Congratulations to Mrs. McCoy for putting up with you that long.

Sharon and I aren't far behind and I often wonder how and why she has put up with me. The Lord works in mysterious ways I've heard.

congratulations! Same thing happened to me on this day 34 years ago when Terry and I got married in Davenport, Iowa. Also, last year on this day, my middle daughter got married in a small ceremony in our house.....she wanted to time the wedding at 3:45 so she could have an anniversary at 3:45 6/7/8!!
