"Anyone on this Network, Arkansas, Radio Check, Over", "Anyone on this Network Arkansas, Radio Check, Over," Anyone on this Network, Arkansas Nothing Heard, Out!" At which point the Petty Officer of the Watch and Messenger gave me two bells and piped me ashore for the last time. I know I'm a Drama Queen!

"... a leader...is quality of character, of soul. It is a matter of integrity and authenticity, of commitment both to a mission and to a caring for everyone on the team, regardless of rank." Rev. Sam Lloyd III, Dean of Whashington Natl. Cathedral..
