    It was the sub I was on SSBN656 - G. W. Carver.

    Thanks Ken, I am usually around but on this trip I didn't access the internet much.

    Best Regards

    SilentnViolent - You win the Chinese notes :)

    Lucy, I drew names between you and Jay for the second prize because you both showed interest and my Daughter drew your name.

    I am not going to offer the additional prize due to a lack of contestants. It was a very generous offer by Torantokuba!!! :(

    Congrats to both of you!

    I received that beautiful coin and 2005 note today! I may use that coin as my pocket coin, I'm thinking. That would be okay, right? Both are so pretty! Thank you very much.

    I just now came across this thread -- a bit too late to join in. Darryl, I think I have nearly the exact same shot of myself on the Great Wall from when I was there in 2000. I can still remember the rock-hard hotel mattresses. I carry this beat-up little 2 Jiao fractional in my wallet as a memento -- it's worth about 1.6 cents.
