What a nice surprise to find this web site. I will find some photos and submit them for consideration. After traveling to Europe on the Michelson, I spent my professional career traveling to both Europe and Asia. What an exciting time this was for me..

2 fun years including imports in Seattle every month for a week. 2 weeks in Hawaii over Christmas holidays in 1978. Drydock in San Francisco for 3 months, Oh man!!!
I was one of the Radiomen onboard.

A GREAT MEMORABLE TOUR. MANY FOND MEMORIES.

Several years floating around in rusty bubbles. Southhampton, Falmouth, Rota, Barcelona, Subic Bay, Yokosuka, and others. Some of the best and most bizarre times in my life.

Back on-line, have photo's I can share. Hope to speak with others. I see my crew group photo, thank you for the memories.
Please contact me if anyone has time. My best...Andy
