Wow, I had my internet down this morning for about three hours (I'm downsizing--removing a rack and some no longer needed equipment) and I had like ten pages to catch up in here. Happy Birthday @cdemoss01 and @luis angel.

I just realized I don't think I ever actually introduced myself. I just push my way into the threads. I'm Tom. Hi all.
Nice to meet you Tom!!
 
Yes please do! That's how we keep their memory alive man.
My grandpa was in WWII.
Front lines.
Lost his hearing shooting cannons.
My dad was in Vietnam in 1969 while my mom was pregnant with me.
De Nang, officer engineer.
I was slated and passed for ROTC but decided the navy was not for me.
I just wanted to play baseball.
 
Hi everyone. I’m Jim’s wife Jen. Excited to be a member of the group. I’m so happy my husband has found his way back into the hobby after 10 years. He really enjoys it and it’s really great to have his focus on something that he enjoys and is good for his mental health. You seem like a great group of people and I’m happy to be a part of it.
Welcome, Jen! Happy to have you here!
