Hello Dan,

I have four rolls of film I still haven't developed. I think I'll wait because I'm afraid of what might be on them. I think they were all taken in port while we were drinking. I dug out some of my stuff.

That was on my first cruise to the gulf. When I did my second I was able to have some fun.

I think I'll edit the picture so it doesn't end up in the tabloids.

thanks,

Hello,

I spent four years floating on aircraft carriers(Carl Vinson, Nimitz and Abraham Lincoln). I was one of the morons that armed up the F-14 & F-18 on the cats before take off. Night Time was the worst with the steam and engines turning. I came close a few times of being sucked up in one of those things. The F-14 was the worst going up the belly next to those huge engines.

Nice Find....

thanks,

This document dated March 6, 1815 was written one month before being struck from the list of marshals.

In April of 1814 Marshal Augereau fled from his post the Army of Lyons to Valance. He learned of Napoleon's abdication and denounced him in favor of Louis XVIII. However learning of Napoleon's return switched again in favor of the emperor. Napoleon ignored Augereau and on April 10, 1815 was struck from the list of marshals.

Having Found, Citizen, that your name was not included in the list of Couriers attached to the General Headquarters, I hereby inform you that in accordance with the decision of the Commander in Chief you will receive remuneration for this month of Vendemiare. With regard to this matter I am writing to the Paymaster-General directing him to give the neccessary orders so that this payment be made without any obstacle or delay.

At the same time I have the pleasure to inform you that the Chief of Staff, who is satisfied(as well asI am), with your services, devotion and zeal, has indicated that your dismissal was due only to the fact that there are too many Couriers in the Army. You are free to seek other employment of this nature if the opportunity arises.

Should this be impossible, a passport will be given to you together with the sum of 2 francs 50 centimes so you can reach Tyrol.
