Aboard 1970-1973 e-mail dmock@bellsouth.net
I went to the F.S. as a student, first year when the FS was on board the TeVega, 1970-1973. First year, I loved it! Fifteen years old, I sailed around the West Indies and South America and the school was just ridiculous; fun; it was unbelievably fun! No rules except smoking; George said 'if it feels good, do it!' I could tell a bunch of funny stories about the first year on TeVega! re: Yachting Magazine (Jan 1973) had the article "The Living Ship Still Lives" I was double captain and first of the three (Ilona Bostic, Bill 'boxhead' Rayner and me) Galley Bo'son.
I got lots of pictures of the FS and a copy of the Seamanship Manual, but I don't have a scanner! What do I do? Send it you? I Major in college is Engineering Mathematics and Computer Systems and my minor was mathematics, after college I went to in engineering co keeping the world safe for democracy, you know, nuke bombs. I quit my job and opened up a wine store (5000 types of wine!) and a deli in Dunedin fl. And then, I was 34 years old when I got the massive stroke. I sold the business and my wife got a job. Five years ago I started my own business: commodities and stocks trader. I live in south jersey, just a stones throw away from Philly.
PS Rad Howle is deceased, pretty bad news!
