Hello there Jimmy ........ Couldnt believe it when Ive just come across your entry above. My name is Stuart Henderson but I was always known as George on the cunard cargo boats. I think you were a catering boy with me as I sailed as C/S on both Alsatia and Asia from 58 to early sixties, in fact continued on till 172 with Cunard. I think maybe the second steward was Dick Glover ? Dave Mercer an A/S ? I remember in those days you lived at Erith I think. Both those were great ships for me. It would be nice to have a yarn about those days of long ago.....
