Bill. Very Off Topic subject for the rest of you, but it is a Sunday. I know where Little Creek, Va. is but did not know the US Dominant. I was homeported between 58/61 in Norfolk, Va. on the Carrier Valley Forge CVS 45. After sev. hospital assignments I was on the Minesweeper DYNAMIC MSO 432 in Long Beach, CA from 65/67. I got to see the Asian/Pacific region then. Hawaii, Guam, Phillippines, Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Borneo, Taiwan etc. Who would have known then that those countries would be giving the stock markets a fit now. gg. That reminds me, while on the Minesweeper we withstood 2 Typhoons better than 1 Hurricane on the Carrier. That Hurricane did some major damage to our ship and even though we were very busy all night treating injured sailors, you got to wonder if we would survive this. But in the end we were really never in danger, I think. gg. Did you go through the same thing? We had maybe about 3000 on the Valley Forge and about 80 on the DYNAMIC. The latter was more exciting. I was stationed at one time 2 years in Hawaii, that was fun and also went to the Carribean and Europe (Spain, Italy and France. Majorca was great then. A little more busy today. gg.) Should have invested then in the market there. Well, back to some more stock talk. gg. Yes, I think CPQ will be good to us in the future and so will Intel and Msft. I wonder what else E. Pfeiffer is thinking of buying. Would be nice to know, so we could get into that. He is still looking for this 50 bill. by 2000. I still have some hopes for HWP. I got too greedy and did not get out when it reached 80. I heard talk about not making the numbers but did not pay any attention to it. I guess I'll have to wait now until Intel gets on with the Merced before HWP will make it into the 100's. Yes, I am doing fine. Thank you. Sonny
