Just trying to provoke some reminiscences.

My youngest son, Alex, opted to join the Army a couple of years ago. He is an airborne paratrooper out of Anchorage AK, just into Iraq in Oct. (I think we must've had it easier in the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club.) Alex remarked in a recent email about <b>Pamela Anderson.</b> I guess she could pass for today's Betty Grable (of WW II fame). In my time (65-'68), I do believe it was the Plastic Woman, <b>Raquel Welch</b>, who dominated shipmates' pinups, with <b>Ursula Andress</b> possibly in contention.

Whom do other Cochrane sailors remember? I expect an argument or two about my era, and also am wondering which Lady Fair was pinned to later lockers?

Or, are all you formerly interested sailors so advanced in age you can't remember?

Funny that you should bring this up Paul. Horace just emailed me this.
