This photo was sent to me today, and I had to share it with you folks. I thought it was really neat, something I had never seen before . . . . . It seems funny as this booth is set up at an Airport.

Cool Frank, I like the "Goal: 2 PT Boats". A most worthy donation!

Funny David, and maybe worth a shot. Maybe he could get 3 cute History majors from a local college to don their bikinis and man it.

Or if you put it outside a mall, maybe Jerry in a speedo could man it. Wimmen can't resist a Navy man.

I might do that myself, grab a speedo and open the booth. I would make tons of money for PT-658, just from people begging me to put my clothes back on..........

You guys are right! Maybe I could find some cute coeds to help out the crew! That would be pretty cool. Jerry

Great photo find, Frank -- thanks.

OK, now...how much did a WWII PT boat cost, in 1940's dollars?

Jeff and Frank, I find your idea disturbing! Next you'll have Jerry doing civil unions on the foredeck! :-)

Jerry, find some beach volleyball coed's. I'll be up there with a fist full of 50's!

Girls scantily clad running around the deck of PT-658, would certainly be a wonderful fund raiser. We could call it "TRIP TO PARADISE" $100.00 a person to cruise with some young ladies, a wonderful thought.
