We had a conference this morning, the mid-week resumption of the regular Production Planning meetings which turned into 24×7 watch operations when the war overseas heated up. Things came to a nervous collapse in late June when Miles and some of his old shipmates were called back down to the Five-Sided Adult Care Facility in […]
