   Cheers Marc.  I can wait my turn like the rest.  Also great about deceased   
   Brats being noted.  I've a brother who is also gone now, although he'd not   
   been registered at Susan's site.  Tom died in '93.  I had noted the fact in   
   my original registration with Susan's site.   
      
   Had another question/comment too.  I did find myself listed at the site now   
   under 'wrcn', and noticed many others are also on the site at the moment   
   with only a nick.  To me that kind of defeats the object of trying to   
   reconnect.  None of my old mates would know me under 'wrcn' and I certainly   
   wouldn't know their nicks either.  Will this change over and we'll be   
   'connected' to our nicks once you get the names all up?  I'm assuming we'll   
   all be listed under our actual names.  Hope you understand what I mean.   
   Pretty sure too, my original e-mail addy is listed on Susan's site.  It had   
   shut down by the time I tried to change it, so couldn't.  You do have the   
   correct one now, listed above without the sailor bit, but with 'wrcn' not   
   Toni or my Brat name.    My old Navy mates know me as Toni, but old   
   Brat friends don't.   
      
   wrcn   
   ... every good girl loves a sailor ...
