On 11/12/98 Ami Calvert (thecalverts@willapabay.org) said:
I was on the Sea for a year from 1991-92. My maiden name was Imming. Hello Doug, Amanda, Lambo, Capt. Boyer, etc. We (husband and I) are currently at Sta. Cape Disappointment in Washington. MK1 Duprau was here but made MKC and has moved on. Doug, I know you were good friends with him. Last I heard, MK1 Anderson was MKC and in Hawaii somewhere. Chapman is here also. Riggs, I would love to here how to get in touch with Genther. I lost track of him about a year ago. I'm amazed at how many people are on here that I know. I've been married for six years now and have two wonderful children; 5 and 19 months. My career now is a lot different from being a horrible MK *smile*. I own my own company and write medical reports for physicians. Surprise, surprise!

On 11/06/98 Chris Heenan (cheenan@justaim.com) said:
Yep, I wonder where Van Aller went. Hilarious story: during our north trip in 1990, Gary got a little too much sunshine in his eyes (you know: snow blindness). So, he wore patches for two days, the patches were gauze bandages. On those patches, lovely little crossed-eyes had been drawn with a magic marker!! (.)(.) Oddly he seemed less stressed during that time, must a been 'cause he couldn't chase us deckies!! Yippee.
On 11/06/98 Jim Roberts (613@usa.net) said:
Has anybody heard from our ole' BM2 (probably BM1 or BMC now) Gary Emory Van Aller, Mr. Stress-con Alpha himself? He was on Polar Sea from (I think) 1988 to 1992, then went to some small boat station on the N. California coast. Where is he now? Anybody know?

I was aboard from Aug 82 to Oct 83. Had a great time! Once during ice ops, the scientists had to rush aboard because a Polar Bear had been sited. Shortly after everyone was safely aboard, the Bear commenced to eating their 4 person Ski-Doo Snowmobile. Knocked it around like a toy. Incredible creatures. During that time, the Captain was Bruce Little and the XO, CDR Moncrief. To Tommy Abair, if you're watchin', how are ya?!! Would like to hear from anyone during that period.

Three CO's : CAPT Gary Boyer, CAPT Lawson Bringham, and the current CAPT, Jeff Garrett. This is definately a ship to learn on and grow on. Nothing like it out there.

I was on board for the end of AOS '94 and DF '95 as a SA/SN. My most memorable experiences on board were making the XO's rack as a wardroom messcook, being called a butt knuckle by BM2 Whiting, going 15 degrees off course in the Straits of Juan De Fuca on my first day as a qualified helmsman and listening to BMCS Buckley call me every expletive known to man, and having someone put a charged hose to my mouth and open it halfway during the equator\180 initiation.
