Welcome!  I have linked many images within these pages.  I'm hoping you will take the time to view some of the different pages, and look at a few of the images.  I've assembled this WEB Site to share my life with others using images. Before you get started here's a picture of my wife Paulette and me with our pets, and one of me working on this web page. I was born in 1941 on "The Day That Will Live In Infamy."  I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and graduated from South High School.  I enlisted in the Navy during the summer of '61 and during my four years of service, I was assigned to the USS Lake Champlain CVS-39, USS York County LST-1175, and the USS Vermilion AKA-107.  Be sure to view my Navy page for some great ship pictures and at sea videos. Below are links to the different areas within my WEB Page.  Please E-Mail me with your comments and suggestions.   Most of all, if you have additional images of South High School or Navy service on any of the three ships listed on my Navy page, I would be glad to add them to the Navy page.     History and My Memories of Growing up in Columbus, OH South High School in Columbus My Navy Story with Images and films Athens County, Ohio & Ohio University Image Pages Our Family Images with Text Travel and RV Images with Desciptions Ham Radio - My Beginning Guidelines for Living My Favorite Links My Lifetime Job Experiences Coming Soon - My Blog About Life, Ramblings and a few Jokes My Cancer Experiences, Prostate and Throat Thanks for visiting my page, and don't forget to  E-Mail me (cookt@ohio.edu) to let me know you were here!
