Ahoy mates! WESTPAC 79!  I was just going through many of the pictures that I took!  One of my favorite ports was the short time we spent at Noumea, New Caledonea.  I also liked Western Samoa.  Fantastic beaches and beautiful water.  My favorite memory: the full moons shown to the Russian cruiser!  A groundbreaking gesture for detente!   Philip Hruska, ET3 --- On Tue, 9/15/09, jrichards40 <jrichards16@hotmail.com> wrote: From: jrichards40 <jrichards16@hotmail.com> Subject: [CourageHonorIntegrity] Re: CourageHonorIntegrity cold war To: CourageHonorIntegrity@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, September 15, 2009, 10:09 PM   Well Mike, those of us saying "We don't remember you" are obviously those who were on ELLIOT on her maiden WESTPAC voyage. Perth was on the schedule but was pulled. I was a YN on there and remember most names from the original crew. Your's isn't one of them. Could it be you want to ask something about that trip even though you weren't on the ELLIOT then??
