My good friend Rod (W1ROD) has a son, Ben... who graduated from the USMMA at
King's Point, NY about 3 years ago - fine young man, and smart as a whip.
Have a very old friend in Pueblo, CO who was MM Radio Officer - WØMWO
(Marine Wireless Operator)
------
Back in 1973, I was in Veracruz, Mexico with my lady friend - talking to the
Master and his crew on the SS Satsumokore (very pretty ship)... they were
all German & Swiss, and as their sparks was a drunk (BIG time drunk), the
Master wanted to put him off - offered me an immediate position at
$30K/Year... doesn't sound like much now, but in 1973, that wasn't bad at
all.
I had to turn him down, as it would have meant leaving my lady in the
Mexican interior, and as she was a well-constructed, blue-eyed blonde...
she'd have been a target for the bad guys.
Oh well - lost opportunities.
Tom
