I was in the Navy in the late 70's on a frigate and we visited Naples
frequently. I remember Humpty on the wall leading up to the Nato (IIRC)
base. She was there for all 5 Med cruises I made.
Remember the "Bennies" by the castle?

She has become a bit of a world celebrity. I was there for a couple of
years in '69 and '70 and she had been there for quite a while before that
time. I recently found a picture of her on the web -- apparently she
continued in business at the same location until well into the 80's.

I don't remember "Bennies". My ship was homeported in Naples harbor, so
when I got off duty, I beat feet up to our apartment behind the AFSouth
communications station (near the hospital).

I do remember all the campfire girls though.
