Dennis Greig's Memories
Sorry about all the little blue car photos, as you may know I practically lived in that car. That's Steve Grooms, O brancher, in the skydiving outfit. As you may know he was killed in a motorcycle accident in the early 70s after he got out. He and his wife Vicky lived in the married quarters. Tom Grasso, either a T or I brancher, introduced Tom Simpson, I believe from New Hampshire, another R brancher in my section, to a Panamanian family in Boquete in northern Panama. That's Tom in those photos. I know most will remember the raft in the lagoon at the bohio. And who can forget the USS New Jersey going through the locks? Tom, another T brancher I think and myself stayed up all night drinking Heineken waiting for it to go through.
