Greetings fellow SB Boarders . Thank you all for the bd greetings. Just so you know, once you start reaching my age birthdays are like dried up old boogers. The more you have the harder it is to breathe. . Anyway, I would have thanked you all sooner, but I was away from home this past week. Went to Disneyland and a cruise to Santa Catalina Island and to Ensenada, Mexico. Just got back. . Again, thank you all. . Respectfully,

Sounds fun. I lived in Southern Cal for 24 years and never made it out to Catalina.

I like stamps for the thrills, chills, screams, and laughs.

Greetings Mr. youpiao, . I was stationed at Marine Corps Lighter than Air Station, Santa Ana between 1968 til 1973. I never made it out to (26 miles across the sea) Santa Catalina Island either. What I really find strange is that everybody, especially the local islanders, call it Catalina and not by it's proper name "Santa Catalina." . One of the best things about this trip was that the last time I was aboard a ship in the Pacific was in 1972. My squadron (CH46 helicopters) took part in an infantry training program. The infantry was to attack Camp Pendleton. As soon as we got all 3,000 marines aboard the USS Okinawa a typhoon hit us. Since my squadron was part of the ship's company, our bunks were directly under the flight deck. Only three bunks per stack. The assault troops were way below and crammed into areas with stacks of six bunks. The seas were really rough. I was just glad that I wasn't stuffed down below with 3,000 seasick Marines. This time, along with 2,500 non-seasick passengers aboard the cruise ship, the ocean was extremely calm. . Respectfully,
