Richard, Thanks for posting this. I really want to take a look at Tabor's library to see if they have all of the old yearbooks. It would be great to scan them and post the old crew pictures.

Thanks, Richard, for posting this photo.  Hope you are well.  Just sent Tabor a letter for Gunter Suckert's retirement book.  It made me think of the time you and I worked together with him on the summer work crew, as well as our shared time on the schooner.

The photo above is not the 74-75 schooner crew.  It is the 73-74 crew.  Here are some more identifcations and info about the people in the photo:

Top row: Me (Rosie, lieutenant in 76-77), Peter Mello (XO in 76-77), ?, ?, Peter Warburton (I think), Pete Swangren, Jim Conroy (later navigator; his father also sailed on the Tabor Boy as a student), ?, ?.

Middle row: ?, Frank Steffanson (Stef, XO in 75-76), Ross Lonsdale (cook), Richard Alcott (officer in 75-76), ?, Rusty, Bill Fairing (Squeak, lieutenant in 75-76).

Bottom row: Paul Torres, Engineer (Spic - politically incorrect but that's what he was usually called); Dirk Rogeveen, Navigator; Henry Gignoux, Lieutenant; Cap; Jon Barrett, XO; Jim Walker, Bos'n (XO in 74-75); ?, ? Perry, Commisary Officer.

 

Best wishes,
