U.S.S. Constitution-Don’t Give Up the Ship! Happy 35th!

Happy Birthday Mark.  I found this ship you made when you were a member of Den 1.  I have saved it quite a few years and so today I dusted it off with Q-tips and took it out to the wonderful light in the garage and used my real camera instead of the phone! I think your kids would get a kick out of seeing this ship you made.  Then I put it into the China closet in the dining room for when they come to visit.  I remember the day you were born in Fort Knox, Kentucky! You have grown up into a fine man, husband and father. I am a proud mother! xxooxx

Do you remember how old you were when you made this?
