At the 1962 Christmas Party on board the
Proteus, we were
assigned to take care of two children from the Kirn Children's Home.
Think about this, they were about 10 years old then,

And the person on the right side with a shadow on his nose is
Bob Peters. This was brought to my attention by a email from Bob.

so 35 years later he could see himself on the Inertnet.
The real reason is that the mess hall was crowed and thats where Santa was.

This is now.
