One reader asked me to follow up the "Boot Camp Memories" post with one about shipboard life.
So I've started an outline.

Hey there dear friend, hope you and your family are well. Now I remember those desks....in fact, my dad had one of those in our Crestview, Florida home. What a small world :-)

Sandy, we are well. I'm not surprised that someone kept one of those desks. They're surprisingly spacious, since I'm sure you know the secret. :)
The Air Force had some slightly larger ones in the offices for many years. And I think we called them "old gray battleships". :-)
Looks as if the key may be organization and dedication to same. Thanks for this.
Linda, we always figured it was "ship envy". :)
