USS Yorktown

Ken and I went over to Patriot's Point Naval and Maritime Museum this afternoon. An amazing place - they have the USS Yorktown, a WWII aircraft carrier, the USS Laffey, a Destroyer, and the USS Clamagore, a submarine, all on display. We started out at the visitors desk of the Yorktown, and met Larry, one of the volunteers. He is a WWII veteran, but of the U.S. Air Force, not the Navy. He was a radio operator on a B-17 bomber toward the end of the war. I asked him a lot of questions, and he had a lot of stories to tell - I think we talked for half an hour, before beginning our tour. Oh, he is 90, by the way even though he doesn't look it!
