Carl...wow so good to hear from you. The monkey fist is one of my life's treasures. It's been with me everyday since you gave it me.

It's strange that I can remember every person in our watch team from Kef but can't remember my co-workers from 2 years ago.

Be safe and happy my friend. I'm still on-watch in Japan as the Technical Director for Undersea Warfighting Development.

I didn’t know you were so **** young, Nick. I passed 52 years this month! Your great impact on our system is unmistakable, thank you!
