Beauty comes from within - Inspired by Chaz Robinson..BY MEL PARAS ....
 REST IN PEACE BRO.. He was or still a a very special shipmate from my Princeton days.. My favorite ship .. Why ? Because I was so honored and humbled by the many shipmates and life long friends I developed over those hard years.. The Wog days.. the ceremonies.. the happy ones , the sad ones.. the working parties.. the deaths on board.. and of course the great times we all shared.. Chaz was cool guy.. Sometimes misunderstood , but funny and very engaging.. We all gained insight on so many things in life just by knowing him... I know the times we joked and played around the ship were special.. For those that know the Navy life .. especially on deployment.. Its a stressful and lonely time.. It doesn't matter its your first or last deployment.. It sucks.. Its lonely.. its boring.. its insane.. its a life that many of you would not or could not tolerate.. It does something to you.. Thank goodness I was able to finish 20 years... any more years I'm not sure I could do.. But guys like Chaz ,, who was special and funny person.. that knew how to make you laugh , smile and be happy. You don't meet too many people like him and to know that he is gone.. I must admit its the worlds loss.. We don't have enough free spirited and loving people in the world.. Especially in the Navy.. We have are brought up or trained to be Killers, heartless , protectors.. which is understandable.. But to find special people that found time to share the joy he had in his heart was one of  a kind.. I wish him well and his family surely misses him.. For my many ship mates. Jesse, Jason, Jimmy,.Bede, Pat, and many others.. We had a special time and place on the Princeton.. I will never forget those great times..I mean I was the " Mailman".. The many karaoke comedy nights we all shared were and always special times in my heart and mind.. and I will never forget those special people and times we all shared... Take care my Princeton ship mates.. and may the years treat you well.. and One day we all will rejoice and share the happy times we all enjoyed.. May all your dreams come true because Mine have happened .. and I'm ready to take on new journeys and be the man My dearly departed mama wanted me to become.. I miss you mama and I miss all my shipmates and friends that I have lost in my lifetime.. Peace to all and be happy!!
