Likenesses

Susan Wenger, author of The Port-Wine Sea, a parody.  Ms Wenger is on the right, in the yellow slicker.

Jeffrey Charles (ex Logsdon), aboard some kind of vessel, apparently in sole and complete charge of its tiller.  In Jeff's words:  sailing a Nordic Folkboat back to San Francisco from a point up the Sacramento River Delta which feeds into SF Bay

Adam Quinan doing something distinctly sailorish (resting on the boomkin netting by the bowsprit of HMS Tecumseth, a topsail schooner based at Penetanguishene, Ontario)

Adam Quinan again, steering the Rose under full motor while lying about his age

Helen Connor at dinner aboard TSS Fairstar with new friend Donna (Helen is on the left)

Helen again, attending a party in England in mid-1990.  Note:  I'm the non-bearded one on the right.  The bearded one (with tattoos and skull-rings) has a lovely public school accent.

Howard Douglass, southern hemisphere OED Guru/God

In Howard's own words:

In response to international criticism of my supposedly "dour" expression in the earlier picture, I submit this evidence that I am as capable of a fun-filled rollick as the next. Modesty DOES compel me to observe however that the suggestion of my Divinity which you appended to my first picture is somewhat exaggerated.
