Thank you gentlemen for those kind comments. Yes a lovely girl was Theresa, Hard to believe she would be around 75 ish now, a little old lady and I am still 23.
That stage was in B.A. in a club , we started singing and then got carried away entertaining the Locals.
Cheers

I doubt she has any "mucho rapido" left in her these days, although she probably has the memories, just like you.Quote:

They might be all that we have left Brian but they are more than worth hanging on to. We all reminisce about the experiences we had, a lot of times involving women, but equally so, I'll bet there are a lot of "Teresa's" around the world that, to this day, are left with the same memories of us. I wonder if they tell their grandchildren the stories, interesting, eh. Have you ever thought about, and I'm sure you have, what place you'd like to return to that you haven't seen since your sea days?
An interesting question for all of us.
It would be BA for me, but don't think I could get up to the things I used to.

Please no smart comments John!
I spend 3 weeks of every month working in Panama City but about 2 months ago, I sent an employee there to work for a couple of weeks. She came back and told me that she had checked a telephone directory to see if there were any "Drennan's" in it. Now wouldn't that be a laugh if there had been. Just a thought, it makes you wonder. There's no telling what you left your "girlfriendo ichi ban" with.
It would be good to see on `Facebook` or one of those and see a `Theresa` writing about a night with a Sailor she met in a bar somewhere and it is your name. Just hope it would be a good report of your perfomance.

I went back to B.A. two years ago in March on my way to the Antarctic, March 2009 , had three days there.
I looked at the Viente Cinco de Mayo, No bars, NOT ONE, all banks, offices and shops. I nearly wept.
No texas Bar, No Marina Bar, No Lighthouse Bar, No May Sullivans , ALL GONE. No BARS AT ALL ANYWHERE JUST IN HOTELS EXCEPT IN, LA BOCA.
I went to La Boca near the Pink Palace. and here she is............... Theresa`s two daughters.
