gsksun4 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) If I'm right, how fitting this close to St. Patricks Day. Andy, am I on the right track? Correction: OK, I think I have the right train, but it's on the wrong track. Nanci, the current feature would more likely be a Braveheart than an Irishman, so let's do away with the St. Patty's thing. Calling a Scotsman an Irishman could get one in deep cabbage.

Fran Haring Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Our current photo subject.... He was the topic of a conversation we had last Friday at Bahrs Landing, a seafood restaurant near Sandy Hook, NJ... the northern part of the Jersey Shore. We were up there visiting family, went out to dinner... and ran into a Skyliners alumnus who lives in the area and who spends some time at that restaurant. In fact, we've seen this man every time we've been to that restaurant!! This alum showed us a painting he had donated to the restaurant... a painting of a ship, given to him by our current photo subject... donated to the seafood place after our subject had passed away. Our photo subject had made the last trans-Atlantic crossing on that ship, as a member of the crew. OK... I know there are probably no clues in all that, but I thought it was a nice story.

Reminds me of an old joke: "Sweetheart, I think you're drunk again... your face is all blurry!!!" LOL 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Priester Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yes, he was the Chief Steward aboard the liner S.S. United States! Makes me hungry thinking about him; I think I'll have some soup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran Haring Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If my memory serves me correctly, our photo subject also was editor of a corps publication called "The RAG." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
