You are in my photo (I think) on the left - is that correct? Wonderful! As you see the 1983 eclipse was the first of many. We're going to Turkey in 2006. Fancy coming?
Are you still a seaman?
If you have any photos do send them. I'll write again soon.

KryssTal Reply: Hi Mel,
Yes send anything by email. Pictures of you and Brian - any of us - any of the eclipse. A re-union in Turkey would be good - I'll have to see if I can contact the others.
Take care.
