<VV> You're Googled!

[Hank Kaczmarek]

All

Joe has found something interesting.....

 I have an unusual occurance from google myself.

One of the Corpsmen who I worked with in Puerto Rico, who is now retired and 
teaching school in Scotland, of all places, ran my name on google a couple 
of years ago in the hopes he might be able to find me.

Well, he did. But it wasn't from the VV membership list.  It was from the 
picture that I believe Gary Aube took of the crowd of us at the VV meeting 
in Daytona in 2000.  Shocked the hell out of me, to be sure.

I didn't think I was findable on the internet in that way. I told the guy I 
was on Military.com, as well as Classmates.com---I guess he didn't know 
about them, but he does now.

For those who like to stay connected, or want to re-connect with their grade 
school, high school, college, or military friends, Classmates.com is worth 
the price you pay for it. There is even a workplace section, where you can 
register from workplaces you have been in previously and presently. I have 
had a few deputies I worked with find me from Classmates.com

Corvair Content----I have a new set of rebuilt carbs ready to put on the 
EUM. Should find time to do it this week, promised the wife a weekend of 
pre-cruise shopping today and tomorrow.
