  2. 48 wings Hocky, that’s incredible!

    I want to check out that knife in a handle, cool concept that I have seen a couple times.

    It would be interesting to research the USS Kamehameha, great name!

    1. Was ithe wing contest a timed event, or just until you stopped and said no mad?
      Always good to reconnect with old friends!
      Happy to see your magnet is still working!

    2. Hey Del: I washed them down with Yuengling! The “41 for Freedom” submarines had some unusual names: “Tecumseh”(Shawnee chief who fought with the British in our Revolution”; “Will Rogers” (Humorist and Oklahoma-born); “Mariano G. Vallejo” (I had to look this guy up . . . well known Mexican-Spanish-American who helped form California).
      The “spork” has small “serrations” and isn’t very functional as a fork. I reckon it would hurt like hell to stick a person in the face!

      1. Hoping the spork doesn’t get used that way, if they ban forks we only have spoons, then what????

        Love those names Hocky, sounds like your trip was awesome!

  3. “Wolverines” and “Badgers” . . . I wish I lived near the Great Lakes!

    April 4th and 5th: “Shenandoah Valley Knife Club (SVKC)” show in Harrisonburg, Virginia.
    . . . just an easy 100-miles south of Hagerstown, Maryland via I-81.

    Pawn Shop Update: “Ka-Bar USMC 02-1217″, MIB”; AND, “Ka-Bar Tactical Spork”.

    1. Tactical spork? For all those times one needs to fight off an invasion during lunch! That’s some marketing!
      So Hocky, how was the reunion?

      1. Yes, “tactical”. There is a knife in the handle! It may come in handy at picnics!

        The “USS George Bancroft SSBN643” reunion was well-attended by over 140 crew members and many guests. Three “CO”s (Commanding Officers) of the “643”; and, a “CO” of the “USS Kamehameha SSBN642” showed up. (Many officers (aka “O-Div”) do not attend reunions because the “enlisted” men outnumber them! . . . somewhat true BUT, we all spent time on patrol underwater on nuclear power!).
        Men that I served with from 1975-’78 came from Arizona**, Colorado, Washington and New Hampshire and elsewhere. (**My peer “Machinist Mate”, Rick Regnier, flew in from Arizona. I had not seen him in forty-seven years!).
        I won the chicken-wing eating contest on Thursday night . . . “48 wings” clean to the bone!
        Our next biennial reunion is in 2027. If all goes as planned, we will meet in Jacksonville, Florida.
