The Independence notepad -

The Independence Notepad for May 22, 1998

Actually it's Saturday... little trouble here with the computer, it doesn't want to accept some new toys. So, sorry to make this short. We chose our last Ballcap Winner yesterday, thank you to all who entered. Before General Quarters last night I made it up to our Air Traffic Controller's room and took some shots of the crew that keeps an eye on the birds once they leave the deck, until they return.
