This is a photo of my friend Abe Romero sitting in the galley of the Elizabeth CJ, he was a Chief in the fleet for a long time.   I got a phone call from Abe today and glad to hear he was recently released from the Hospital and is doing well.  If you know Abe send him some prayers. sdtunaboats@cox.net
