  For the record thats my Grandfather in the picture with the Snorkel, Bob Groszewski Sr. He was the Engineer and served from 1967 to 1994.

  Thanks for posting these photos! They brought back a lot of memories. I responded on my first call on E303 back in 1985 or 1986. My father was Engineer on E305. And the snorkel! Good times. Thanks.
