These are pictures of some of my friends in Europe. Again, I don't have as many as I would like.
Here is where my good friend, Bernie Steed, lives in England near Plymouth in Devon.
And here is Bernie with his wife, Brenda, at the front door of their cottage.
And here are Bernie and Brenda in their garden.
And Bernie in front of the cottage.

My friend, Ari van Treueren, and his family at Christmas 1996.

No picture, unfortunately, of my friend Cem Gurdeniz of the Turkish Navy. He was going to be XO of an FFG of this class when it was transferred, but the transfer was held up by American politics. Now, Cem's been promoted, so he may become the CO when the transfer finally occurs.
