Oh the book you are reading is fascinating. I just watched the movie a couple weeks ago with lots of stars in it like DeNiro and Pesci.

What Pat said. It is so interesting and well told; a variety of emotions in those stories. Thank you so much for sharing them with us.

Re: FSI

And I finished my book.  It was really fascinating.  Now I'm ready to begin another, a Maffia story, #1 true crime best seller, "I Heard You Paint Houses".  That's the kind of books you get from used book stores.  LOL

Yes it has been fascinating all that history when he was still young. No one knows how things will shake out, at least he had some happy times with you, well you know what I mean.

script. His story was so well told we could put ourselves in the middle of it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. Amazing!

Re: Kabu

The one time Mark was headed to Australia on the Blue Ridge, they were called back for something important just before they reached their destination.  Mark was always disappointed about that.

Thank you for sharing all of this with us dear Taps. I have enjoyed every word and story. I guess he had enough of wandering the Ocean and being an Australian I especially thank Mark for his service to his country....and the times he was in the Pacific, his service to my Country as well. We know we are safe in Australia and New Zealand with the USA service guys having our backs.
