Sailing the Kearsarge

Geri and Rick Voran of Sterling, Virginia, took their two daughters and their boyfriends sailing on the York River, only to find that one of the boys served on the same ship in the Navy as Rick did nearly 20 years ago. USNS Kearsarge is an aircraft carrier for helicopters. David Bogot served aboard as a Marine in the North Atlantic. “Well,” said Rick, it was 20 years newer in my day and was probably in better shape.” He too served in the North Atlantic.
