Hey!! There's Earl again!!

(Earl Adams comments: The growth on my chin was supposed to be a beard, but it turned into a goatee because I had two bald spots on my jaw. The only time in my life I tried to grow a beard, and the result was pathetic! I'm surprised the wind didn't blow me overboard I was so skinny!)

Chowing down on that good Michelson grub. Actually, I think this was one of many "cookouts" we had. That's me, Phil Brooks, of course!

That's Me Again!

Phil Brooks

Me: Phil Brooks, somewhat intoxicated apparently. Steve Carlton in the middle, and our EMO on the right. Forgot his name!!

Michelson Motorcycle Mob

Left to right: Steve Carlton, Phil Brooks, Pat Ryan. When the Michelson was scheduled for the yards in Sasebo, we got Japanese motorcycle licenses, took a month's leave, and toured Japan for a month. We caught up with the ship in Sasebo.

We were at EXPO 70 somewhere in the middle of Japan, part of our month long motorcycle trip. Pat is a SERIOUS looking dude!!
