Mike has since mailed me one of the OK's commissioning booklets, shown at left. It is a real thrill to be able to, in a sense, renew acquaintances with the boat and crew.
Later this year, I'll be in Halifax to say hello to more of the gang from the "best boat ever"! (And it's not just me that says so.)

June 22, 1968, was a super day. I was so proud to be standing dockside, representing Canada, in my new Harrod's dress and hat. Much partying. Good memories.
I have the gavel that launched Okanagan!!
Was the gavel to maintain order? Break the champagne?
Bob, do you realize that was nearly 50 years ago - 46 to be exact...
Yes, I'm afraid I realize it all too well! I was featured in one of the photos in the commissioning booklet, and I didn't recognize myself!
