Mike, you wrote- Arleigh Burke is supposedly a distant relative, though I've never seen any proof of that. From the Wiki page on your 'maybe' distant relative: "Earlier, Admiral Burke was involved in the "Revolt of the Admirals", a near mutiny by the leaders of the Navy in the late 1940s, and was saved from being fired by the intervention of President Harry S. Truman. His terms as CNO were times of growth and progress in the Navy. Upon completing his third term, he was transferred to the Retired List on August 1, 1961" You are a chip off of that kind of block, so you must be related. <g>. Your only mistake was revolting as an low ranking enlisted man. Well, it didn't seem to hurt your government career either....
