Midway Museum

0 comments











The chairs of the airplanes are automatic parachutes. They are designed to shoot out of the airplanes in case of emergencies.


Instrument use to help direct the airplanes landing and taking off the Midway runnway.



We went to the Midway Museum this last Sunday. The Midway is the longest serving aircraft carrier in the United States Navy. Used in War World II and the liberation of Kuwait in 1991. It is a real American aircraft carrier!
The Midway is now a Historical Museum located at downtown San Diego Navy Pier. We learned a lot about Naval-Aviation life and history.

Alden Thomson

Last Sabbath afternoon we had the privilege to attending the Tierrasanta SDA Church in San Diego to listen to Dr. Alden Thompson. Dr. Alden Thomson is a professor of biblical studies at Walla Walla College Washington. He is also a speaker, a seminar presentor and an author of many books.
Amor has read three of his books; "Inspiration" "Who is Afraid of the old Testament God?" and "Escape from the Flames". We had heard him before a few years ago when he visited the Sunnyvale SDA Church. It was very refreshing to hear him again.

Dotty

2 comments


Last week we had to put our cat Dotty to sleep. She was not doing well at all. We have been taking her to the vet and trying different treatments and she was not getting better. Her health was deteriorating more and more. She was vomiting almost every day (some days even three times) and doing a lot of other things. We think she was suffering.
It was a hard thing to do, especially for Amor. Dotty was his cat for 15 years. We do miss her.
