Will wait to<br />hear from Helen. It is safe and still being viewed by friends.<br /><br />shirl72https://www.blogger.com/profile/17268124369207064149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-86896063437351431282014-05-26T19:53:13.336-04:002014-05-26T19:53:13.336-04:00What a legacy to leave behind and share with other...What a legacy to leave behind and share with others too.

Another friend is into battleships, but nothing of this caliber.
