A few other folks at a table in the galley. Looks like Fred Dorffeld on the left, Ed Schwalenberg on the right, and ?? in the middle. Geesh, it has been awhile since we did this! |
Another guy lounging in the lounge...Shane's brother Bob perhaps? |
...and Gary Cullen. |
The dockside BBQ, I brought one of the grills from Nevada. |
Looking the other way at the dockside barbecue scene. |
John Lohr...HERO comms officer in the late 1970s. |
Bill Wechter, the owner of the Hero. He and wife Amy were very gracious hosts. |
A view of the spread. |
Pat Moriarty brewed a few cases of Cerveza Pinguino beer on station during the winter...well, it seems that Gary Cullen saved a bottle from all these years. Until this night. Aahh. |
So what happened next?
