I head back in a month and it looks like my office is getting another ship sometime this winter. I'm on the short list to be the reflagging master but we shall see. Can't say where it is going at this point since contracts are still being hammered out, but it looks good.

Chapman said…: Jamie that is cool you are nearby in Silver Spring for work, and for sure we will have to grab lunch sometime (I am in Old Town and work downtown -- though about to set up a deal where I am in Atlanta halftime and here too the rest, I will be here long term). I love all things Tabor so will be interested to hear about your sailing days there. For sure I am going to go back at some point to sail again.

If you are class of '79, you may remember Dan Chapin and Ted Cooney (whose brother Dan Cooney is bigtime into sailing) -- those were two good friends of mine there.

Anyway hope you are into a great Fall and will be in touch! All best.

Chapman said…: Jamie nice to hear from you and yes, this is fantastic to reconnect re: Tabor; I knew Peter Mello pretty well there and swerved into him via Facebook! I read your profile and you had a great career as a sailor and officer aboard TABOR BOY. If I infer correctly it also says you were aboard for a sail in 2004 -- was that a reunion? I am going to try to tap into that somehow in the future.

Anyway, stay in touch and let me know if ever in metro D.C.! All best for a great Fall.

P.O. Box 73, Walburg, Texas 78673.
Will be driving by your place Sept 13th on my way to Easton, MD for a 2 week class on Container Refrigeration. I'll give you a call when I'm on the road heading that way. We might be able to get together the following weekend as I will be just hanging around killing time! JL

At 10:51pm on August 25, 2009, Jonathan Lincoln said…: Hey Dirt Ball,
Still hanging in Mississippi? Now that you have done sea trials are you free to go back to Virginia? How was the Reunion? Sorry I missed it. Will be in Maryland Sept. 14th to 25th, hope you're around.

Regards,
Jon Lincoln

I think you were a BMOC when I was only a little known freshman on the 420 team. I really have many fond memories of TA and Cap. I have some photos of the cruise back at my home in Dover and will pick them up the next time I am there to share.

Thanks for the contact.

At 11:43am on July 15, 2009, Mitt Younts said…: Hi James-Never on crew due to other TA sports but have seen Tabor Boy and many people seek me out re: seeing her in various Ports from Maine to Virgin Islands. I read comments about Joe Smart. Had him for Spanish and struggled. He had me to his house one afternoon to discuss my grades and we became best of friends. After that...all A's. Que pasa ??

At 12:36pm on July 2, 2009, Malcolm C. Young said…: James--

In reply to your invitation to put up photos, a couple of things have happened that are relevant. First, I actually found boxes of old slides in that small format that Captain Glaeser convinced us was the wave of the future. I'll inspect them and if they are in ok shape, I'll get them converted and posted.

But the reason I found these pictures is that after six years in the middle west we are moving back to the Washington area. There are job changes involved, a house sale, and of course a move. So just when I have the time to go through these found photos, we'll just have to see.

I'm looking forward to going through these old slides.

I apologize for taking so long to respond to your comment. Wow thats a big reunion date though, should be fun to see classmates and all. The Tabor Boy crew will look forward to seeing you back onboard.
Hope everything is going well,
Wilder

Sorry, no I'm still on the map. I have not checked this e-mail recently, obviously. However, have vowed to change that. Sorry also I didn't get back to Matt in a timely manor.

Obviously, I will not be able to post any pictures of you, since none of them are complimentary...
Oh well.
Looks like a good website; thanks for the info.
I'll have to go searching for SOME photos...
I'll see what I find.
Be well,
Alec

Doesn't look like I'll make the reunion as I am due back to the Yorktown Express around the beginning of June for 70 days. I am however, heading to NOLA around the 17th of April to get my annual MEBA physical. We should try to hook up that weekend. I'll give you a heads up when I'm heading that way.
Regards,

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend reunion weekend this year as I am going to the best man at my buddy's wedding that weekend, also a Tabor alum. Sorry I won't get the chance to meet you this time around.

At 7:23pm on March 9, 2009, R.C.Glover III said…: Sorry to hear about the sea trails, :( send the shipyard guys out to go find the relative bearing, that will keep them busy and make them THINK about why the bloody ship can't maintain speed aye?

Don't know about the 44 footer. Propably going to some USCG museum.

At 10:35pm on March 8, 2009, Meghan Barrett said…: Thanks! I'm with DOJ (Tax Division). NOAA is my dream job, what do you do over there? I live in Arlington, always glad to hear of area alums!

Carl bent over and asked the cop to replace what he took! Ha!
We had to row all the way out to the schooner and try and break into the safe... which we couldn't figure out.
Yeah, it was an amazing summer.
