Lightoller's Birthday

[Pat Winship]

I would like to take a moment to remember the birthday of the amazing Charles Herbert Lightoller. If his resume were posted on Monster.com, the verdict would be "Sir, you're over-qualified!"

I would also like to remember some of his descendents and kinsmen, now serving with the British forces in Iraq. May they return safe, sound, and soon.

I'll second that Pat. Rumour has it things are a bit dicey in Iraq. Who's serving now and in what capacity? Royal Navy?

 

[Patti Darby]

Happy Birthday, Lights. We could use a few more like you these days. May your spirit and grit live on in your fighting countrymen.

Serving are his great-grandson's. Royal Navy and Special Ops.

 

[Lee Gilliland]

Well good luck to them both! (At least none of them are submariners).

 

[Pat Winship]

No, Lee, but I think their father was! (Have I got it right, finally, lg?)

Yes, Pat you have it right. And he never told Charles that he was.
