Hey Mike, I am still sailing with MSC. Currently on the USNS WALLY SCHIRRA T-AKE 8. Still gangway up in the Mideast due to the COVID BS.
TAMUG had a 60th anniversary Oral History Project. I added a couple photos from Summer Cruise '82. Good to go through the Aggie album and see the old gang. Good memories.

Mike was a big brother to me, first at college, then in the valley. The Jordan's all treated me as family, and I live them so. My fondest memories are of sailing abroad with Mike on the Aggie Clipper,, fishing with him in our bays, and especially going to Mexico on many occasions. It will feel strange to come to the valley, or Gio's, and not see my brother, Mike. I miss you already..
