USS Houston

This note comes from Clay Ramsey of ASIATICFLEET.com. Jim Hornfischer's new book "SHIP OF GHOSTS" is featured in an exceprt called "the street fight in the sunda strait" in this month's issue of Naval History magazine. Also, in that same issue, the book "Shattered Sword" by Jon Parshall and Tony Tully, has been added to their "bookshelf" for the year 2006. This means, in
essence, they regard it as a "must-read" book. So, if you don't already subscribe, go to a bookstore and get a copy of this month's Naval History! These books are also supported by the DVD "LAST STAND OF USS HOUSTON" by Vic Campbell.

Spooked in New Jersey

Armond, our reporter on the scene, did this video for a media production class for extra credit. With no help, he took a school camera and visted the site of a local Haunted House. The story behind it involves a child molester, a murder and lots of scary feelings. We hope you enjoy Armond's tour. He was quite shaken up from the experience. The house is in Sussex County. He got full credit for this one-man production effort. His assigment was to shoot so there would be no editing required. He came close! You can learn more about making video for broadast at the Sussex County Community College. Contact Tony Selimo for information. SCCC 973

That video is actually at the INCOUNTRY blog (another channel on me3tv.com) If you have video to show the community, submit it to me through www.me3tv.com. A free seminar about how to put your video on the web will soon be offered at the Sussex Tech School. You can have your own show or even your own channel -- for the LOCAL community!

Sussex County Tech School

"The Sussex County Technical School, a school of choice, in partnership with family, community, business, industry and institutions of higher learning, empowers secondary and adult students to become self-directed learners and active participants in their community by providing a competitive advantage to pursue ANY career opportunity." This video was prepared by students and staff at SCTS.

Books To Read

I recommend these! I read them and learned a LOT!
"Cotton (TheBiography of A Revolutionary Fiber)" by Yafra. A great insight into the world economy and conflict over time as it relates to the fiber itself.
"Mayflower A Story of Courage, Community, and War" by Philbrik
"Benjamin Franklin: An American Life" by Isaacson - an excellent follow up to "JohnAdams by McCullough" and "1776" also by McCullough
"Johanna" .. by Jennifer Brune. A Book by a local Sussex County new author . Interesting story-line takes a young reader into several known books of the past to make sure one of the (usually minor) characters deos something that will "move the story along" ... or else the book will fail.
"Playing For Time" by Alford: an excellent overview of the last days of the Asiatic Fleet in WWII as it was thrust against the IJN in a desperate attempt to stall the Japanese. I met Wicke Aflord (Capt. USN, Ret) at the Asiatic Fleet Reunion in Asheville in April.

Fall View over The Delaware River

It is a great view this time of year from a sail plane over the Delaware River. This historic valley is gorgeous this time of year! The Glider Port is in Blairstown. The color in October is amazing. MORE HERE Thanks to Paul Avery of AlphaPoint Technology (great software for the company that needs to track its hardware).

Delaware Water Gap Drive

This drive and terrain can be seen from the air in the glider video on me3tv. Nice countryside!
