Jim - how does one put this right? If that was the BEST story of his 8 year career...?

Hey John, no need to sugarcoat it...my dad's hitch in the military will never be confused with that of Audie Murphy, Seargent York, or Eben's gramps. My Dad was an electrical engineer, he did design work for the Navy, sitting at a desk. He did remember drinking a few beers with John McCain, who even then was a big man on campus because his dad and grandfather were both admirals.
