greetings to Mike Weller,Gary Grayand Steve Humphries, it'sgood to know the OBA is still ticking along. memories of the old school stilllinger both good and bad but it's an experience I wouln't have missed for the world., that first meetting at the "sailors home" in Liverpool right through to the last one when we were "kitted out"for the great though somewhat daunting first trip to sea. My first ship was the S.S. New Texas belonging to Elder Dempster Lines,she was an old coal burner, the engineroom crowd and the catering crowd were all West Africans the deck crowd were white but she was a happy ship.Regards to all O.B's Don. Hope to make it to the reunion one of these days.
