Thanks to Webelos Scouts Chris Carlson and Chris Gill (and Chris' mom, Joyce Meredith on the keyboard) who assisted with the Sunday morning chapel service in the Smokey Stover Theater aboard the USS Yorktown; for more info on the subject of the homily, click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Chaplains.
The theater is actually the forward elevator bay, with the platform permanently fixed up above flush with the flight deck. We watched "Tora, Tora, Tora!" there Friday night, and "The Fighting Lady" Saturday night, which is when we learned who Smokey Stover was. It's a very special place on a very special ship. We were honored to get the chance to offer worship for 250 of our fellow Scouts and family members -- then those of us who hadn't already had to leave bolted for our cars and started the 12 hour drive back to Licking County, Ohio.
