The Shenandoah Dive Locker

Special Dinner Party in Gaeta, Italy

featuring Today's Catch: Octopi

                       I think it was Tosh who had the connection in town, but it was suggested on the dive boat that we cook Mr. Octopus up at this certain restaurant and make it a party that night.  Well, we did.  It turned out to be a real fun night.  There's Tosh, and Steiny (our boat mechanic), giving a toast, and then Steiny helping himself to another glass of vino della' casa.

                      My man Sugar; Ken and a corpsman friend of ours, Lynn; and Valerie W. with myself.  Note: Ken almost died in Naples of Hepatitis if it weren't for the diligent supervision of Lynn.  I remember her as a great gal and shipmate up in medical - a friend to everybody.  Valerie was right near medical in personnel.  She later saw to it the papers Ken single-handedly prepared to go to SEAL training were in order.  Thanks Ken & Val...hope to cross paths again someday and thank you again in person. 

  Ciao Villa Fontania Restaurant!

                      That night Cooksie went whacko on us again after viewing Pink Floyd's The Wall movie for the umpteenth time!  The next morning Zee was sleeping it off.
