New Life for Liberty Call

Liberty Call AKA CrewZen


Julie, Glen's girl friend


Glen, Gene and Angela

Glen took us out in his ski boat for a day on the bay in San Diego. While cruising around the marina, we searched for and found Liberty Call, now disguised as a tourist fun-in-the-sun day sailer. Gene sold the boat to Sail San Diego about three years ago. The company purchased a second Catalina 400 and now have two boats in their fleet. Both were headed out for day sails, and we were able to snap a photo of Liberty Call (now named CrewZen) working hard at her new job. She's been stripped of her bimini, dodger, outboard motor and other "cruising" necessities, has new sails and looks pretty sleek zipping through the water!

Introducing a New Member of the Family

Nananette Careccia, age 3

Gene's daughter Terri has been a foster parent to a little girl since she was six months old. Terri's worked diligently through the adoption process over the past few years and finally got papers signed adopting Nananette. When the family arrived at our RV for dinner at the San Mateo campground one August evening, Terri asked Nananette to tell us her name. "I'm Nananette Careccia," she proudly announced. We're all proud, too!

Crabb Beach Party

The beach was packed!

Pauline Crabb

It was warm, sunny and the perfect day for swimming and surfing. We were up at 7:00 a.m. to snag a table for our family picnic. We ate, swam, dug in the sand, made s'mores and played cards until the sun set. An altogether great day for the Crabbs.

Glen (Sue's son) showed up early for a visit, and upon arriving at the gate at Camp Pendleton announced, "I'm here to see the Crabbs on the beach." The guard looked at him leerily until Glen stammered, "I mean, uh, the Crabb reunion on the beach." They let him enter.
