Greg,
Good to hear from you! I was '84 incoming, 83 outgoing. I roomed with Brian McKay and I bet you remember his brother. Thanks for reminding me that those were MKII's.
All the same profs were permanent fixtures on my watch Hess, HAP and even Commie Bob etc. That was quite an era.

Always good to have another Privateer aboard (aka. Domer). I'm class of 80 so did my summers on the T.S. Empire State V in the late 70's. We could have been issued the exact same US Navy mark 2 sextant. They were old clunkers but got the job done. We may have had the same Profs.-Hess, Parnham, Sembler, Paulus, Dooley, Thor.
