Very personal inn the news from JB
This is the short video if you can watch it, pretty cool! Blowing up HMAS ADELAIDE, SINKING HER! Happened while we slept this morning.
DANG I GOT A BIG LUMP IN MY THROAT WATCHING THIS!!! THIS WAS OUR LIFE. Tony spent 5 years aboard this ship, including 4 months in the Gulf of Oman in the first Gulf War. TRIVIA: His ship was the first to fire a shot in that conflict. I stood upon the bluffs as this ship that was gone for 2 mo's came back and turned around 2 days later for the unknown of the Guld - and I stood there and cried as it left Sydney Harbour and out the heads.
We last walked along this shore of Avoca Beach with the girls on the "Central Coast" of New South Wales in 2002, and oddly enough THIS IS WHERE TONY LEARNED TO DIVE and was certified PADDI!
There were thousands there for this event and it was held up by pods of dolphins. Our cousin Kylie went down and took photos and will send us, she said Michael got all teary eyed at this as he always thinks of this ship as ANTHONY. J I thought that was sweet!
