United States Naval Warship VIRGINIA CGN-38

"Sic Semper Tyrannis"

I had learned of our planned reunion earlier this year. It's getting underway today.  I wrote Carroll about it on 26 July 2015, an email to which he never replied. See below. This is just one example of several emails I sent Carroll over the summer to which he never replied.

Nevertheless they served to give him notice that I wanted a resolution to my car as soon as possible.

Despite the, in my opinion, addle-brained jibberish Tim Carroll writes about me on his website, he knows full well that I wanted a resolution to my car as soon as possible.

So, shipmates, we'll look at it like the old days, I'm stuck here with 'The Duty;' 'Setting Zebra' on this Texas-sized Turd Head Tim Carroll, while you guys are having a good time out on the beach.

I plan to make next years reunion in Colorado. Until then, Fair Winds and Following Seas.
