In July of 1997, I celebrated having my Texas Real Estate Salesperson license for one year, and was also celebrating my 5th year back at NASA with Boeing ISC (Information Systems Contract). It was almost as much fun as when I was maintaining the LEM (Lunar Excursion Module) simulator for Link back in the late 60s! You know, the one we trained our Moon Landing Astronauts on. That was a simulator!
But, back in June of 1997, we had a birthday party for my paternal GrandMa up in Austin. She was celebrating her 101st birthday. Nana had a chance to live in two millennia, but she decided to cash in her chips in October of 1999, at the wonderful age of 103 and 4 months! She was a grand lady!
But, Happy 20th, Neal, maybe SubSim will endure for another 80 years! As a former Boomer Sailor (I served on the USS Cubera, SS-347, also), I'm very anxious to see what the Navy comes up with as a design for the new FBM (Fleet Ballistic Missile) sub, or Ohio Replacement. Best to all in 2017!
