A “Hail and Farewell” is a traditional wardroom celebration of when one naval officer relieves another, a time of joy and sadness.

I just returned from a trip including a visit to the Naval Academy. Last Thursday on ESPN the Naval Academy beat the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, though perhaps some viewers turned occasionally to the presidential debate during commercials and maybe beyond. Can you believe Navy was the first Division I football team to go 5-0 this year? Beat Notre Dame!

I am delighted to see the emplacement of a dedicated moderator to put out the occasional fires that flare on this Only Randy Petersen forum. Bravo.

Thank you for all the resources you deployed!



Miles and Points forever!
