    • Robert (Bob) Rowles { Just doing some browsing and came across this site. I myself sold chocolate bars as a member of RCSCC Courageous around 1964-66 to help purchase the Rhea. I also took many trips across the lake with her as part of the regular crew as a helmsman. Was also on board the weekend that we almost never made her across without catastrophe. }
    • anthonydpaul { Hello! I sent Charlie an email and it bounced back, but I carbon copied his wife's email as well to pass on your contact info. You can also visit the Facebook page and post there because Vern Mills and others frequent it. https://www.facebook.com/yms299/ }
    • Cliff Shuart { My name is Cliff Shuart. I sailed the Rhea with Charlie and Bob Donaldson when it was a sea cadet ship out of Port Stanley. Those were some very interesting years, I learned so much from the officers and crew of the RHEA. I spent some time as deck crew, mostly on the foc'sle . I came off the ship in the 70's with a sub lieutenant ranking in the RCN Reserves. Needless to say those were some of the best times of my life. I am wondering if there is any way you could either let Charlie and Bob know I am trying to reach them or if I could get their email addresses. Thanks Cliff Shuart cshuart@hotmail.com }
    • anthonydpaul { You're welcome and thank you for the comment! This is the only photo I have of Aragon as far as I know. I have a bunch of photos of my grandfather with soldiers. This photo was originally shared as part of a larger series: http://yms299.org/archives/178 }
