It's a classic image, which I am certain others have seen.

I will have to check Amazon and try to find the aforementioned title. It sounds like a good read.

Thanks Wango
Actually as a kid, I don’t recall reading & astound my wife with how many books I’ve never encountered. I read for leisure very little into my 30’s and then it gradually picked up. I personally have ADD and even now can only manage a few pages before I take a break, refocus & then continue.

I thought of you when I recently bought a book called Cats in the Navy. I was amazed how much a part they played for several decades. The stories and pics are insane, that is of course if you like cats.

I’ll try to find that image you mentioned as I’m not familiar. Appreciated.
