Hi Del.
Welcome to the site. You will find that you will get quite a few misses on ships you were on, blokes on her before you or after you left, and in that as you will see by the posts blokes get to remembering someone who was there at the same time etc, which brings back the memories. Read the old posts, maybe someone you knew posted awhile ago. Anyway enjoy this great site the best there is.
Cheers Des
