Its a great pleasure, one of life's true gentlemen. We had jazz and big band sessions around the stereogram. Your dad would bring records that he had bought ashore and I would replace the stylus with one that I kept for new records. He had a lot patience and tolerance of young people like myself (and junior engineers) and helped make my first voyage to sea tolerable in spite of home sickness and sea sickness.
As I said before, I was lucky to sail with him on several more voyages over the next eight years or so and when I remember people I sailed with, he is always the first to come to mind
Best Wishes
Alan
