Interesting Factoid About Me

When I was in the Navy I got Tom Hanks autograph while I was standing in my boxers.

They shot some scenes from the movie Apollo 13 onboard. The skipper gave Tom Hanks a tour, and they went through my berthing space, and I was laying in my rack trying to take a nap when Tom Hanks walked in. Naturally, I grabbed a pencil and a piece of paper and asked him for his autograph.

During the scenes where the helicopter went to go fish the astronauts out of the water, and it shows the helicopters taking off from an aircraft carrier, I was actually standing at the helm during that scene. Pretty cool, eh??
