I'm at Quantico for the 2015 reunion, and decided to sight-see a bit on the way up. I drove up to Petersburg and spent the night there. Yesterday morning I spent a few hours at Jamestown, watching the archaeologists excavate inside the old fort (1607). They had a good Q&A session going... fascinating stuff for history geeks like me. Then I drove the Colonial Historical Parkway to Yorktown, where Cornwallis surrendered to George Washington. From there, I stopped by Chesty's place in Saluda, VA. It's for sale too. But they won't take a personal check. His grave is in the cemetery of Christ Church,just east of town. To pay homage, I left my service cover emblem...

Will Phelps, John Reek, Eric Frey, Steve Beintema. There's nothing like visiting with old friends.
