West pax vaq 134 1973 couldn’t wait to get off , 41yrs later would give anything to get back on
Thank you for updating your progress and, especially, posting photos of Constellation during your transit. I would do nearly anything to be able to ride the waves once more on her. Have a safe trip.
To Ms Mary Beedle: I started following Constellation’s final voyage, after watching my old ship’s final voyage, in progress too, USS Saratoga. Your updates are just wonderful, much more information than on the Sara. Thank You for that. And I must ask about your name – Same as mine and same as my wife, and and Ex wife. It makes me very curious as to your location, if that isn’t getting too personal. PLEASE tell me your middle name isn’t Lee!
Good Luck to you. And the Foss, and the Connie.
Former Sara sailor, Ross Beedle
Thank you for your comments. As for my name, I married into the Beedle name in Alaska. No my middle name is not Lee.
