Funny Bone

This post is for a very close friend of ours, Don Winch. Don is one of the original Tin Can Sailors --having served aboard the USS Gwin (DD-433) during WWII.

Now, Don has one of the biggest funny bones we've ever seen, and when he heard Carlene and I were headed for Sioux Falls, SD... Don said "...You have to go see the naked man in the middle of Sioux Falls..." Carlene and I both scoffed, knowing how conservative the natives are in SD, but sure enough, We found him in a small park in the middle of town:

Michelangelo's statue of "David" is a classic work of art. I, however, am not!

Carlene, of course, comes much closer to being a work of art, Pop Tart art, but art none-the-less:

Don isn't feeling so swell these days and Carlene and I would do anything imaginable to make even a small smile appear on his face. We both have an enormous respect for men like Don, men who put their lives on the line for the rest of us, and never gave it a second thought.

We had the condoms, Don, we just couldn't reach the damn thing...

Get well soon and smile when you think of us.
