<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I remember my dad taking me down to the Willamette and on board the
Battle ship "Oregon".</DIV>
<DIV>We climbed all over and into that neet old ship. I was about 8 or
ten years old.</DIV>
<DIV>Anyone else that old to remember the "Oregon"? The Mast is Still on
the Willamette. I Browsed the net and found a really great Picture
of that ship.</DIV>
