I'm Up at the Crack of Noon

Recent Navy retiree Carl Gerhard
solos at the Saturday night dance...

The 20th Anniversary reunion of the Navy Musicians Association is now history. I said my last goodbyes in the lounge around midnight, hit the rack, woke up at 8:30, said "No way,: rolled over and slept for another three hours.

...to the delight of our former and
active-duty Navy membership.

 I'm about to tour the building; there are generally a few people still around the day after the reunion. But the party is over, the memories settling into place. And I'll share some of them with you in a few hours.

Meanwhile, there must be coffee around here someplace.
