Thanks for posting the pics. Hi to Christine.

It's great to have you on the site! I think that Cap would be very proud of this project that Peter started. I've been behind and regret that I have not yet passed this site along to Jason, Karen, Jay, or Dale. It would be great to capture their memories and photos too.
I trust all is well up north. Please let me know if you ever find your way down in Virginia. My best to Christine.
Best regards,
Jamie
Welcome aboard and thanks for joining!
These photos are fantastic and classics!
Our courses crossed a number of times over the years but my first season was Fall 1973, with Jon Barrett as XO, so I'm probably not in those great pictures. I do recognize a couple of the upper classman.
Hope all is well for you and your family and please tell a few sea stories when you get the chance.
