Submariner

  Our speaker this Friday morning will be our own Blair Stewart. We have been trying to get Blair to speak to us for a while, but he has always had a fascinating family member that he was able to tap instead. We have heard from his wife Jacqui Widmar Stewart, his son Andy Stewart, and his daughter Julia Stewart Lowndes. Not wanting to start in on his pets, Blair has finally agreed to tell us about his time as a submariner.

. . . Long ago and far away . . . Blair was a Midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy.  After graduation he received nuclear power and submarine training and served as an officer aboard the USS Sculpin SSN 590, a nuclear powered fast attack submarine.  He will talk to us about The Silent Service: 

How he got there, How we got nuclear subs, Why we have them, Why we keep them, Life aboard them, Who else has them . . . and how we recycle them.
