Navy rank

[dave]

What is a LCDR in the navy---Lt. Comander?

[Oyaji]

That is correct. Lieutenant Commander paygrade O-4 equivalent to a Major in the Army/Marines/Air Force.

Thank you. I just found out my mother's father (married twice) had a son (second marriage) that had that rank in the Navy and is buried at Arlington. Guess that would be a step cousin, if there is such a thing. Only met my grandfather once when very young.

Genealogically speaking, the half brother of your mother would be your uncle.

[Mickey Christian]

I have a cousin that is his own uncle.

And you're not even from Arkansas.

I'd like to find the words to "I am my own Grandpa". Funny as he**. I heard it at a dinner ranch outside of Colorado Springs years ago. Anyone know it?

Flying W Ranch. I live about four blocks from their entrance and go to church with one of their "Wranglers".

I attended a BMW motorcycle national rally there many years ago. I've never again seen so much food served so fast.

[Bill D]

Got that right! They can serve 700 people in less than 20 minutes.

Of course! What was I thinking---not!

Bill, I used to live in Manitou. Too expensive to live there now.

Thank you! I thought calculus was confusing.

Manitou is a quaint little tourist trap full of hippies and tree huggers. I hardly ever venture in there anymore. I do spend quite a bit of time in Old Colorado City however and it's rapidly getting to be more like Manitou.
