ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Although I'd love to take credit for this book myself, honesty and an awful lot of gratitude compel me to do otherwise. The final product you now hold in your hand could never have been accomplished without the help of guys like QM2 jeffrey Suttle and O53 Greg Bessette, who coordinated and t ac ually took many of the photographs at which you've been looking. And then there's SN Alex Pass, who not only contributed greatly as a Cruisebook photogra- pher, but who also helped write the piece on the ship's mission. This piece, like all the others, would not have found its wa ont th ' ' ' ' y o ese illustrious pages though, if it weren't for PN1 Michael Conner and YN1 Greg Garcia. Their advice and guidance made it easy for me to pr0dUC9 written copy for the book. To put it sim I I p y, own no camera and I can barely read my own handwriting. These five guys above all th , o ers, gave of themselves, their talents and their free time to help me. I sure am grateful. M any thanks also go out to the Welfare and Recreation Committee, who provided the funds necessary to get this whole project off th ' e ground In the first place, and to all those who donated personal photographs for m us Th' ' y e. IS book was anything but easy to put together, but now that its all over, I'm I d ' ' ga I was given the opportunity to be a part of it. More importantly, however, lt's my sincere desire that 'n ' ' ' ' . you fl d this book a fitting chronicle of our most recent cruise. That was the reason behind it p ENS l.,KlrbyQ
