A big thank you to my wife for all her help with editing. Grammar and spelling has never been my strong suit. Without her help this story would not be as good as it is now. ***** NOVEMBER 2017 - OCEANA NAVAL AIR STATION I had just returned yesterday from a work up cruise prior to my next six month deployment, when my cell phone chirped. It was a text fro...
It's a romance; it just took me a while to get it there. My list of thanks are always to those friends of mine who share so much time and their expertise with me.
