I hear you are no longer in the Norfolk area. On the St. Louis Express, we are there every 5 weeks. Sorry I never got intouch! Only in port for 6-8 hours. Where are you now and what are you up to?

Welcome the Headmaster aboard!

The thanks go all around but especially to Peter. That boy got vision!!! He really started an amazing project. I’m sure that Cap is very proud of the three of us. Each one of us has achieved significant accomplishments in the maritime community. You especially have made the industry better for all of the sail training you gave, all of your work with Vision Quest, and building my state’s tall ship! And you continue with your efforts in training professional mariners. I’m proud as hell to be associated with both of you guys.
Best,
Jamie
You're up a bit early this morning. It must be the old age. Nearing 50 must be tough for you, you old ba____.
