So I am set to start a work conference aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach. I suddenly realized that this is the same ship that took my dad to England during WWII just prior to DDay |

I met a guy back in the 70s who had a degree in art from England. He was the projectionist about the Queen Mary. Made a little above minimun wage, but he was happy. |

Hey, my Dad went on the Queen Mary the other way: he was with the Fleet Air Arm and learnt to fly in Texas! |

Brought my dad from South Africa to UK to go on ops in Bomber Command. Sailed without being part of a convoy because of her speed. |
