Hafa Adai Jeff!
-> 
-> hn> -> then that there are no beautiful women on Guam? :) ->  You're 
catching
-> hn> on Jeff! (grin) There are NO oak trees on  Guam. However I 
discovered there
-> hn> were plenty of very lovely ladies! (grin). I loved Guam, served in the 
Navy
-> hn> with Joe Ada who later became governer of Guam...and had  MANY 
fiestas with
-> hn> his very large family! Love Guamanian food too!
-> hn>
-> hn> Glad to see you here in the echo, hope you hang around! chat with 
you soon!

-> Hello Hap. Thanks for your response. It seems that there are a lot of 
military
-> folks who visit these echoes. As I mentioned in another post -- can't 
remember
-> where now -- in the heyday of BBS'ing here on Guam, quite a few of the 
boards
-> were run by people associated with the military. I wouldn't be surprised if
-> AAFB and NAS promoted it amongst the ranks as a popular pasttime for 
military
-> folks on Guam. But that day is long gone, and as far as I know, I am now 
the
-> ONLY active BBS remaining on Guam.
->
Back when I was there...there were no
personal computers (grin)...last time I was
there was 1973 when I finished my last 
submarine patrol. 
 
-> Joe Ada is still around, but in recent years, he seems to have taken a back
-> seat to Guam politics...and that is something I could talk about for a long
-> time. I sometimes post comments on my PDN blog or in the PDN forums. 
The level
-> of corruption and absolute incompetence here only seems to get worse 
with each
-> passing year. As you may possibly have heard or read, the latest scandal is
-> the closure of the Ordot dump, and the opening of the new landfill in
-> Inarajan. Seriously, we've now got most of the members of the local
-> legislature in contempt of the orders of the local District Court judge, and
-> GovGuam is seriously in debt, and basically bankrupt.
->
I never got involved with the politics..and I knew
Joe before he got into politics...all I know is 
his family was HUGE and threw lots of Fiestas!
 
-> I have never been a fiesta man, and most Guamanian food is simply too 
greasy
-> for my taste. There's a few things that I like, but not much.
-> 
I liked it a lot, good roast chicken, firey hot goat
dishes. Wonderful roast pig!  Finadene sauce! 
and the occaisional glass of Agi! Superb adobos.
Lots of fresh fish! I quite liked the food that I
found there! Great diving, great fishing. And the
pace of life back then was sure relaxed!
I'm sure I'd find the climate much too hot and 
humid for me these days though! 
Chat with you soon!
