  1. Father of one here.

     

    He's stationed aboard the USS Samuel B. Roberts (FFG58), currently in its home port of Mayport, FL for repairs. They ran it aground (official Navy will not admit to this) off the coast of Argentina; and had to limp back with busted screw blades, a bent shaft and more.

     

    I transferred in May from Mayport to Norfolk. The Roberts incident was familiar to everyone on the waterfront. I believe the skipper was relieved of duty.

  3. As much as I would like to believe this story, my B.S. meter is pegged. I searched and couldn't find any other mention of this incident or of the murder of David Burien other than this one article.

    Hiya Doc!

     

    Does this count? http://www.newsnet14.com/?p=4278#more-4278

     

    Hey 1911! (One of my favorite dates)

     

    Nope, doesn't count. It's a repeat of the same article. I would find it more believable if there was some mention in a Montana newspaper or TV station of either Patricia's story or the murder of Mr. Burien.

     

    Like I said, My mind wants to believe it, but my gut...

  4. I cannot for the life of me remember the name of the company that makes the aluminum "grip" adapters for the old S&W Chief's Special and Colt's Detective Special revolvers. It helped fill out the otherwise skinny grips of these pistols. The older models had to be drilled and tapped. The newer ones use 3m adhesive. They can be smooth or have finger grooves and come in polished, black or bronze finishes. They're kind of old school, but very effective esp for CCW

     

    Anybody. I've been googling with no success.
