I know the USS Massachusetts has the same type of volunteer program in Fall River, Mass. They get together in May of each year, not sure of the exact date. Thanks for bringing this up, Paul, reminding me of these great causes. You got my adrenalin going again. I think I'll be going back there this coming May.
Pam and I did go once, but arrived too late. Another thing is that I'm a baker, by trade, so not sure if the galley is still in working order. What a thrill it would be to be able to bake some bread and ge-dunks for the crew. Of course, I'm sure welders and pipe-fitters, etc are in more of a demand. *grin* But then again, it would be more of a treat for them than chicken Mc'Nuggets and two week old brownies, LOL.
What a great cause and satisfying thing to do, Paul. Thanks again.
