Where has Salty Dave been hiding out? He spends all of his time with a rather large lady (this absolutely
does not describe my mother) - the USS Iowa BB-61! He is a volunteer for the rehabilitation and thinks
about nothing else. We give him a wide berth (snicker) these days.
Would you like to visit the Iowa in Richmond, CA? Here is the link to the Pacific Battleship Center, the
non-profit organization rehabbing the Iowa: http://www.pacificbattleship.com/page/richmond. Can't
make it to Richmond? Check out the gift shop: http://www.pacificbattleship.com/page/store. Shirts,
hats, posters...heck, even pieces of the deck.
Dave wasn't able to curb his enthusiasm long enough to document his volunteer adventures. Luckily, a
man that goes by the YouTube user name "PRThatRocks" did it for him. He has a lovely educational
video series showing his time renovating the Iowa. Will he show us the bathtub?

Perhaps the next post will be of my dad's Iowa tattoo! Just kidding, Mom wouldn't allow that.
