Was in Newfoundland June to October 1957 to do hydrographic surveying along the coast of the Rock and Labrador. Loved every moment of it. Hard to imagine 'twas 59 years ago. Been to Argentia, La Scie, Fox Harbour, Spotted Island, Cutthroat Island, and Aillik Bay (Cartwright). During my last days there, Russians sent up the first Sputnik satellite.
