McMorris in Sidney Harbor, WestPac 1973.

This is a picture of the modern transportation that we enjoyed in Hong Kong .The picture was taken at dusk as we were coming back from shore leave. After this picture was taken, I jumped up front to get off the taxi. I was standing on its bow when the taxi hit the ships ladder and I had to hang on to avoid being thrown into the water and run over. God protects-what was it they said?

This picture shows, from left to right, Phil McGraw, myself (Steve Crate) and Joe Miller getting ready to ride the cable car to the top of the mountain at our first stop in Pango Pango. I believe at that time it was the worlds highest cable car, going all the way up the side of that mountain.

This picture was taken at the top of the mountain overlooking the bay we were docked at in Pago Pago.
