I first met Craig in August of 1981, when we both went through US Navy basic training together in San Diego. A lot of us were sitting around on the first day, asking each other where they were from. When he said Rocky Ford, Colorado, I told him I had lived there for most of my life (up until that point in time). Fair winds and following seas, Shipmate
