[PSUBS-MAILIST] Great White mods

[Alan]

Hi Joe,
yep, didn't think about this trip till about 9 days before I left.
Been thoroughly enjoying it. We had Alvin's 50th Birthday party tonight, & I managed to
corner a G.L. certifier for a few hours as well as yack with the team from Curacao, 
Phil's operations manager Jeff Heaton, Will Kohnen, the Spanish team building the ictineu 3
& a chemist from Blanson who is doing a session on view ports.
Well worth the trip, hope nobodies jealous.
Alan
