Your favourite memory from your time at GF?
Many years ago in the 1990's Kevin and I bought some special offer flights to Seattle. There seemed to be lots of yachts being built there at the time. We decided to keep a photographic record of the trip (an old-fashioned camera with film). We carefully wrote notes about where every photo was taken and felt pretty pleased with ourselves. When the camera kept counting after it passed 36 we thought we had a problem. We did! I hadn't put a film in the camera! So memories of The Pacific Northwest remain in the mind, but it was a memorable trip.
