Bob Suttle, ETN-3, got a little "over done" while sunning himself on a beach near Perth, Australia. I can remember this day like it was yesterday. The beach was clean,
with white sand as far as you could see.

On my first trip to Australia in 1966 we were tied up with HMAS Supply. I met a seaman from Supply and we had a few beers. Later that night I went aboard
Supply for a tour, and he came aboard Calcaterra. We swapped hats and I think I also gave him a belt buckle. Here's a photo of the hat. Inside it reads"Alvin Hunt
Is Married". He told me his wife added the "is married" part.

Gene Spinelli. ETR-3, USS Calcaterra - photographed while visiting the Coronation Hotel, Australia. Feb. 1966. Click on image for larger view. With the
help of Pete Callaghan, I think we decided this photo was taken in Fremantle/Perth. I always thought Adelaide, but here's an e-mail from Pete: At 04:53 AM 5/15/2007, you wrote:
- Hi Gene
Not sure if that's Adelaide as the trams were not green here. Adelaide trams were a dark red that I know of but you never know I my be wrong.
Regards Pete
