I LIVED IN THE VARSITY HOUSE WITH 47 OTHER GUYS, FOUR TO A ROOM, 2 DOUBLE DECK BUNKS AND A SMALL TABLE AND CHAIR. WHEN Y'ALL FIRST STARTED, I PRINTED MOST OF YOUR POST FOR DR JARRELL, AS WE HAD LUNCH DAILY AT THE LOTUS CLUB (STILL DO).. ANYWAY BITCHING WAS RAMPANT IN THOSE DAYS.. BUT THE NAVY IN WWll SAID "A BITCHING SHIP IS A HAPPY SHIP", WHEN THEY STOP, LOOK OUT..ANYWAY YOU ARE DOING AN EXCELLENT JOB. JUST PRAY WE KEEP DAN RENAU AND I THINK BRUCE IS GOING TO BE AN EXCELLENT AD.
