Was discussing the Prime a little while back with GM2 Robertson, we recalled a incident that happen on the West Pac cruise of 65.  We had this one cook name of Walker, big fellow.  It was chow call, we had pork chops or something with all the trimmings, and a really good looking brown gravy, he started serving it up, when some of the crew thought that it tasted kind of soapy.  Well what happened when Walker looked on the shelve, his facial expression was one of fright, then discovered that he had used liquid detergent instead of oil.  Realizing his mistake, this guy of very large structure, moved so fast into the Wardroom, swept the bowl of gravy off the Officers table, got out of there real quick.  I don't think I have ever seen him move faster.  Let me tell you some of the crew spent sometime in head for awhile.

Do you remember Mr. MINAULT { don't know about spelling} . My special sea detail was the helm an underway was boatswain of the watch. Mr. Minault use to get seasick before the lines were cast off. I always wondered about him, I doubt he owns a yacht. I had the watch one night he was on the deck sick an I was keeping us on station, The Capt came on the bridge wanted to know where he was, it was dark. I think he was sent below to his bunk.  Have a good evening. Bob
