Memories, How Good is Yours?
Having recently become a member, I started looking for my Discharge book and found out my memory ain`t so good. In 1968 I worked Home Trade on The Icenic and The City of Something, while waiting to take my EDH & Boat ticket at St Katherine`s (have you seen that lateley?) . Thats what I Would have said until I found my papers. It was in fact PERSIC as SOS and CASTILION as EDH .The other two were a false memory, I`m . glad I don`t drink that much anymore.
All the best
Derek Smith
