Welcome to the forum,
The Jacksonville club is a good group!

Welcome aboard, chief.
Saw a fellow last week who had a hat with the name of a ship and the notation on the back- Plankowner; means he was on the first crew when it was commissioned. Can't remember the ship!

Thanks, yes plank owners are the crew aboard during commissioning.
I really enjoy and am lucky to have such a good club so close to me. I am fortunate.
Welcome Jim!
