I have received pictures from Carol Lilly of Captain Lilly's 90 birthday. I am sure all shipmates will enjoy seeing them. The following is her email which included the pictures.
"Hello Jim,
Here are the pix from Creighton's 90th birthday party in September -- finally!!
Creighton's 90th birthday party was a wonderful dinner party attended by over 80 people.
Creighton was roasted and toasted by his children and grandchildren.
At the birthday party I presented the Hazelwood caps and read the many cards and accolades that were sent to Creighton by former Hazelwood crew members and co-workers. My father was deeply moved and astonished -- as was everyone in the room! The deep admiration and love expressed by all who sent cards and letters was truly remarkable.
I send you all a great big giant THANK YOU!
Regards,
Carol Lilly"

I hope all of you enjoy seeing these pictures as much as I have. Jim Julian
