Veteran on USS Wisconsin sails to relive youth at 58
Korean War veteran Gordon Jenkins joined 198 other veterans and 1,500 active sailors aboard the USS Wisconsin for a three day voyage from Norfolk to New Jersey as the ship nears retirement. Jenkins, a carpenter from Clarksburg, recalled battles off Korea in 1952 and said the trip felt like returning to his youth, with memories renewed as the ship’s roll and nomenclature sparked strong recollections. The group plans reunions every two years, and a Today Show feature slated for June 10 may showcase the voyage.

Rockville liquor warehouse probe urged by County Council
The County Council's Office of Legislative Oversight urged an investigation into thousands of dollars in inventory loss at the county liquor warehouse. The report cites rising breakage costs, pilots theft declines since 1986, and questions whether the county should remain in the liquor business as a June 27 council discussion looms. It recommends random daily assignment of warehouse drivers to curb collusion among leaders and staff and calls for an internal audit line item to track breakage.
