Larry was <br />a Korean War AF pilot, shot down in flames...actually still bears scars on his bald head ( and elsewhere<br />he tells me ).  Retired as a Continental Airlines pilot.  He was constantly about the ship, talking about<br />his wife.  I felt so sorry for him.  They used to sail in the big suites, Royal/Owners, etc...apparently,<br />money was no object.  Joey and I dined with both him and Claude.  He said he wakes up at night and<br />still reaches for his wife.  It was so sad.
