On December 3rd, I posted a thread with a photo tour of the Mississippi Queen inside and out back during her maiden voyage(s) days in 1976. As promised, here's a few photos of that original crew 'way back then'. Martha Razor, who was a pursor for those first couple of years, and myself, put our heads together last night and tried to link names to the photo gallery. We did a pretty good job considering this was over thirty years ago! You may want to add any names to the ones we marked with a question mark (?). An early Christmas gift to everyone with more Mississippi Queen memories......
Henrietta, ?, and Henry
Mel and Alphonso
Dick Weber, ?, ?
Thanks for that wonderful Christmas present, Tim! Some of those folks I have not thought about for years! Though I never worked on the MQ, I did know a lot of those folks.
The lovely blond ? by Ray is Julie Helm. She is now Mrs. Ray Leach and they live in the mountains on the AK, OK border. Ray was often mistaken for Charles Manson. However Manson got caught, Ray never did, excet by Julie. I have often believed that Ray and Julie were the basis for Beauty and the Beast. I visited with them at there home about 5 years ago and talk to them several times a year.
hey Tim Daves wife was Joanne, she was Terry Sevrens aunt
