    Thanks Johnf
    I have stayed on her several times in Long Beach and was a member of the Queen Mary Foundation for a while.
    I was presented with an Original piece of Teak Decking, engraved with the 70 Anniversary of her launch. Only one of four 4 pieces in the world, for some work I did for them.
    She is well worth a visit if you get over to that side. and a superb Hotel cheaper than any LA Hotel.
    I never sailed on her but In New York on the other Cunard boats we used to drink in the Crew Bar which was open to 10pm, 8 old pennies for a pint of ale then, before going across the road to the Market Diner for a 10 cent beer.
    Happy days.
    Brian

    I thought you might be interested Brian as I can remember reading your posts in the past about her, she is a grand
    old lady and if I ever did go to the states she would be right up there on my must do list. As you say happy days, indeed
    they were and the memories are "not too bad either" you must be very proud of that piece of teak decking,
    with there being only four pieces in the world, Happy New Year, all the best. JC

    Just a quiet one this year JohnF with Margaret and Yoshi but a one hour video skype call from my son Rick and his Dixie lady love in South Carolina just before lunch was really nice. To you and yours every good wish for for the whole new year and here's a video just arrived from my Aussie assistant who was with me in Suva, Fiji in the early sixties to get the ball rolling.
    Cheers, Richard

    #7, Thanks Richard, shame about the video sounds like it was a good one, that picture of Yoshi is like looking at
    Chewbacca "of Star Wars fame" , he looks a lovely dog, take care. All the best, JohnF
