Editor/Webmaster's Note
(Bob Hoffman)
Interestingly enough, I actually knew Fred Joy and worked under him in Houston during the Apollo days. My strongest Hard to Forget memories from those wild days are the fantastic Splashdown parties that they'd have at the end of each mission. One of the local contractors would pick up the tab and there would be lots of music, food, and alcohol. That was in the days before all of the companies had to worry about lawsuits that could result from providing alcohol to those irresponsible employees. Most of us were much younger then and had no idea we could sue anybody. Ever watch Mad Men? ... that's how it was around the Johnson Space Center in Clear Lake, Texas in the 60s and 70s. Wild and Wooly!

Jul 2011 - Huntsville Retirees at Lunch from Jim Troy
8 Old Photos from Dr. Arloe Mayne
Arloe & Linda M on the left, with Gary & Barbara H on the right. This was a TEMPO rafting outing on the Ocoee. Most rafts had 6 passengers plus a guide, but the numbers worked out such that we had only 4 light-weight passengers plus a 100-pound young lady as a guide. Our raft rode high in the water.
