Ralph Martin - I'm glad your skin cancer scan was negative!  PTL.  My husband is 100% disabled Veteran - served 28 total active duty years including U.S. Navy Viet Nam tours 1964-1967 aboard the USS Hancock aircraft carrier before transferring over ro USAF.  It wasn't until years later he began getting skin cancers. He's had over 300 total removed- yes 300 - both basal cell carcinoma and squamous. Thanks for warning folks to be checked by the doctor or dermatologist. If detected early removal can be fairly simple, unlike having Moh's surgery etc  like my husband has has. He goes monthly to the dermatologist. The oncologist has been involved  due to lung cancer & removal of lung lobe - (certainly not from a skin cancer though).
Just an additional note to VietNam Veterans who served USN - the VA does recognize agent orange "blue water ailments" to Veterans. Time consuming & research to prove but can be done. Good Luck. God Bless.

today is our 55th wedding Anniversary..sorry about posting sidways...Sharon...Thank you for sharing your story with your battle..Stay strong & glad you are having a Good Quality of life 

Peggy Wood (Guernsey) (1968)

Ralhp How wonderful for you two, Great pictures can always be great even sideways  Happy days ahead

Sharon, I am so sorry you are going through this and I am so glad there is something being done and able to help your quality of life.  I will add this joy to my prayers.  I still check for the lumps and bumps or funny colored things.  Sunscreen, hats with brims and sunglasses do a lot of protecting especially with all the new junk in the air.  Remember all these fires are not just clean air with smoke, everything is burning and toxic so be safe, please.

Be safe, Be well, know that there is a God and Vikings that love all of us.  May joy be with you all.

Fellow Vikings:  One of our own has been directly affected by the fires on Maui.  Sandy (Walsh class of 64) Stapleton's son, Chad lost his charter boat in the fires.  His livelihood came from his business, Ocean Riders.  A  "Go Fund Me" page has been set up titled, "Rebuild Maui's Ocean Riders".  Please go to this page and donate to our classmates son.  Sandy lives in Maui and reports she and her family are safe, but her son is devastated at the loss of his business that takes care of his family.  Again, please help out a fellow Viking.  Thanks, Pam Norvell, Class of 64.

David Merrick (1970)

Kinda off topic here, I have two photos to share from San Francisco. The City is indeed going through a "down" phase, but we'll be back.Thought Vikings would find this interesting as the photos are not from the news, they're from a former classmate. Just put on "Up On the Roof" by the Drifters, 1962, and everyhting will be okay.. P.S. If you notice the roof is wet? Would someobody put on 'Who'll Stop the Rain?" by Credence Clearwater Revival 1970, for me? Thanks.

Ralph Martin (1967)

Thanks David for info. regarding S.F. light  show from the rooftops...Breaking news... S.F. bigger problems than  stopping the Rain...Lil Ralphie
