Still Here

A Celebration Not all of us are permitted to live beyond the Biblical allotment of four score and twenty summers, fewer still reach the landmark ninety. Yet those of us who went to sea with that little known arm of the Navy known as the Armed Guard can look back on nine full decades. Most of us have had the good luck to survive not only the perils of war but have met the many challenges that go with living so long. We get around on canes and crutches, rarely free of the aches and pains that go with the years, but we don't complain; we're glad to be alive. -- Francis B. Kent November 2015 |
