Flint (Michigan) Central High School reunions. Well, after two practice reunions -- in August 2008 (44th) and August 2009 (45th) – the real 50th was held in September 2013 at the Atlas Valley Country Club. If you find this link through Google, please look at the website that Dee Wilson (nee: Dixon) has prepared, and contact your classmates. If you want to have Dee add you to the “found list”, please write to Dee with your contact information so she can post your Email address. Here are some more photos of our classmates. In 2007 and 2008 we took advantage of the warm August to go “up north.” In July 2010, but using the two methods for crossing Lake Michigan - high speed and slower speed car ferries. Michigan is a beautiful state. Created, and first posted March 2007; updated November 2008 and August 2010.
While awaiting to go offshore by helo to Tantawan Explorer spent a day of touring. The opening shots are a view out of the room on the Gulf of Thailand; located between Sattahip and Rayong. The first stop of the June 2001 trip was Ulsan, and after going offshore I continued on to Singapore. Yes, it included a visit to my friends in the Zoo! Created, and posted August 2004.
Discovered a nice-photos page, and its link is now here: they include fall scenes, local monuments and the walk about in the Izu (Japan) peninsula.
A panorama of garden photos, which will eventually have links to the large photos explained in the next paragraph. The panorama consists of a 30 inch wide web page taken from the northwest corner of the back yard to the southwest corner. Detailed photos of each plant - in bloom - are above and below the panorama. Created in June, and posted August 2003.
Its time to put the north-side annuals and bushes on the web. The first page shows individual photos starting from the front. The primary bushes to the left (north-side) are viburnum, with a weigela, yellow lilies, a crepe myrtle, rhododendron and azaleas. Created in June 2005.
And the front yard which includes the south-side beside the driveway. Photos are from 2004 as well as 2005. Included are: azaleas, mallow and lilac. Created in June 2005.
And more photos from the backyard in bloom. Created in June 2005.
OK, time to see some snow pictures! The surprise snow storm started Saturday night and ended Sunday - 11 and 12 February. The snow was very wet so you can see how much snow accumulated on branches and limbs. In Arlington we got 12 to 14 inches. Most of the photos were taken in the backyard on Sunday morning. The Blizzard of 2009 - Saturday, December 19 gave us 19 inches and a white Christmas. Then again in February 2010 - the blizzard of 2010 - closed everything for a week. At the end of this page are some links to the summer version of the same views. Another page which features the north of the house with annuals and bushes, also has numerous pictures of the oriental fringe in the front yard. At the end of this page is the fringe covered with snow. Created in March 2006; updated December 2009 and again in August 2010.

Summer and Fall 2006 - I started taking photos on late spring, and took photos throughout the blooming season. The shots were all taken from the same location - fourth step of the porch - focused on three different scenes. The plan is to use onMouseOver for each photo which will be “Photoshoped” to exactly the same extent of view; this is so we can demonstrate the changes in foliage. Well, the aforementioned plan has NOT yet been implemented. In the meantime I have put all the photos on individual pages. The last two pages (links below) give a page of pretty flowers and plants, and a page where I have posted really neat photos taken over the past few years. Created in September 2006.
Summer 2004, and its time to update the photos of the garden. The back yard annuals and peonies are featured in a number of collages. Separate pages for the annuals and peonies are called from the main page. Another collage gives the azaleas in and around the back yard. (See the individual links below) Each of these pages consists of a large JPEG collage. The JPEG is "mapped" with links to larger, high resolution photos. Created in July and August 2004.
Photos of flowering bushes in the garden in the spring of 2002. Another page of flowering bushes has larger photos. Both pages posted October 2002.
Work-related Pages
Container Damage on the APL China. Similar container damage was sustained on the OOCL America. The APL China photos were taken by ILWU, and posted on their web page.

Various offshore facilities and ships associated with oil offtake and FPSO, FSO and FSUs.

A September 2001 visit offshore North Sea to the FPSO Anasuria. Though did not observe an offtake, numerous photos document the severe environment of North Sea operations.

Then, a mere 2-hour Shinkansen train ride to Osaka, we attended an excellent Design for Safety Conference hosted by the two Osaka universities - from 27 to 30 October in Sakai City. Hosted by Professor Paik of the Pusan National University in Busan, visits to his structures laboratories and the model basin with a newly commissioned sloshing facility are recorded. Final days (November 2 - 4) included a visit to Samsung's research group (as well as the shipyard) on Geoji Island.

After SLF 48, a visit to Finland. Flew from London to Helsinki, then by train to Turku on Saturday, September 17th. A visit to the Aker Finnyard on Monday where the Freedom of the Seas is nearing completion. Photos were taken across from an marina during a Sunday drive. After a Tuesday visit to the Finnish Administration, an overnight on the Swedish-flag Silja Symphony, morning arrival (9:30) in Stockholm. But, getting up early in the morning - is worth the views of the Archipelago - breathtaking! Train across to Götebörg for model tests at SSPA. There are websites for everything: a search on Google, with “Silja Symphony+photos string” resulted in the photo used. That same search netted one site with an amazing set of photos around the ship. Eugene’s excellent photos were taken on his Winter 2003 crossing. On another page Eugene critiques the vessel. Created, and posted October 2005.
