Nicholas Trivizas, 1962, aboard the S.S. Glenview

Niko was a wonderful and helpful Master of the S.S.Glenview, the freighter I sailed on during the Summers of 1962-63. I respected and liked him so much. I still have a photo I took of him back then. So sorry that Yorgo and Zoila have also passed away, as did Panos, at sea, during the period between 1962-63. May his memory bless all who loved him. Jeff Segall. [email protected]
