Have you been to McDill Air Force Base in Tampa? If so you’ve traveled Dale Mabry drive. I was born at Mc Dill Air Force base in Tampa and lived off Dale Mabry Drive. I thought that Dale Mabry Air field was the original name for Mc Dill, but it wasn’t it what’s now the Tallahassee airport.

After all of the 9/11 anniversary shows on TV tonight, I jumped on Google Earth to check out NYC. I then ended up remembering to look up a survey disk I found on the Statue of Liberty in January, so went to NGS’ website and did a coordinate search on Liberty Island but didn’t find my disk described. I did find the attached datasheet (PIDKV4410.pdf) and loved the 1980 Recovery Note by NOS, check it out…

My blurry pic (DSCN2500.JPG) of the disk I was looking for is also attached. It was stamped “United States Harbor Line Reference Mark” and was on the upper portion of the pedestal (as high as you can go without going to the torch, about 8-10 stories high), Southernmost corner I believe.

No man is an island, entire of itself every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main
if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were any man's death diminishes me,
because I am involved in mankind and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls
it tolls for thee.

- John Donne (1572-1631)
