So you were there while the Glomar Explorer was being build &
launched ?

Yes! I worked on the staging on it, and even lost a lunchbox and

was working elsewhere :-)



You might get a chance to get them back, she is going to be scrapped
soon.

;-)

Huh, I need to send this on to some old shipyard folks.
