I was just looking through all of the old posts and saw one from Billy-Ray and Lawler about the A-gangers from 80-84. I had forgot about those folks. Holy lord, I had only been on the ship for a very short period when I think it was Lawler who broke his arm and as I recall Billy-Ray and Gerald Maynard were buddies. I also remember these was so very large guy whose first name was also Dave (I think) but I think he was a BT. Good that was a very long long time ago. I really hope that you have all done very well with your lives and families. I know that I got very lucky at both... Never would have guessed it by my time on the Brewton. I could not stay out of trouble and fights to save my life.
