Here are some old images from the island country of Malta, circa 1977-1979... they are a bit grainy, but it's fun to look back at those great times. Liz (Radday) Starr has managed to re-surface some friends from those times, and they have shared some images with me on Facebook!
Above: Sailing in Marxamxett Harbor, Christmas Day, 1977 - that's us in the lower left hand corner, in the leaky but great-sailing USS Enterprise (Jim and me).
Below: in the Grand Harbor, in front of the Italian tall ship training vessel Amerigo Vespuci.

Here are Mom and Dad square dancing at the American School on the 4th of July - and the Raddays, too, at the very left!

Rock climbing - unbeknownst to our parents... if they only knew - how crazy were we!
