It was my eighteenth Easter; one I will never forget
April !, Easter Sunday April Fools Day .

However , fewer was more than enough, All or our carriers were hit, some several times, and yours truly with others in the aftermath cleared the ship of one disintegrated Twin engined Jap Betty Bomber.This was a sign of things to come in the following nine weeks ,

My eighteenth Easter was the year I got engaged. What was I thinking?!
River: let's see um er - maybe Easter eggs or procreational thoughts. Was that back in 71? if so I was still living in the UK.
Thanks for calling.
BTW What were you thinking?
I hope subsequent Easters have been much, much less dramatic.
