- "On the morning of April 7 I'll be giving a briefing on the Devastator Project to the admiral who runs the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC), formerly known as the Naval History Center at the Washington Navy Yard - the direction to which Jeff and Carolyn pointed you. I'll just stay on and spend the afternoon looking for sextant info."
Ric did that. Has to get in touch with the curator, who was out of town the day that Ric visited. Still pending.
