Our Trip to Malta

The cook aboard was Dave Fordsythe at this time. The cook had a violin so we went ashore, sure enough I saw a guitar, I was playing the guitar at that time. So of course, in time we entertained the crew and we entertained the officers and any visitors that were aboard. So I remember that quite well. Yeah, our trip to Malta.
