June 1973 - Mystic Seaport #2 - scan-1973-06-New_England-09-Mystic_Seaport-Edit.jpg [1/1]
 

popup trailer for the last week of June and the first week of July 1973 for
our honeymoon, as it was all we could afford.

We were so broke that it was October before we could afford to have the few
rolls we took developed :-)

I was working at Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Co in Chester, PA before we got
married, but I quit and got a 'safer' job with a small electronics company,
primarily because several of my Stagebuilding (Shipwright Carpenter) and
Rigger coworkers were killed in a freak accident right before then. I
eventually ended up back in the shipyard in early '77 in mechanical
maintenance (just as dangerous as stagebuilding) as we needed the money with a
kid on the way. :-/

The fabulous freaks are leaving town. They are driven by a strange desire.

My son and his wife were there 2 weekends ago. From RI it is only a 30
minute ride.
