Ok, one of my personal Heros is a real SOB, makes Thompson look like a
leftie wimp... But this is very interesting how well he saw into the
future... He served his country well.

Some lunchtime Rickover for you:

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

A seriously smart gentleman. Would not tolerate a prevaricator or
bullshit artist. Only met him once, during my nuc interview. Fortunately
(or unfortunately?) he didn't visit anywhere I was stationed while I was
there. Too damned bad he's not still around today.

Was your interview "interesting", care to share?

Had to do with some... "youthful transgressions." I was honest about the
fsck-ups and didn't try to make excuses. Guess that was what he was
looking for.
