When you worked on the Grande, did you know a Tonie Bangos?

The name does not sound familiar. I was not full-time. I don't remember who worked the galley. I worked with John Dipley, Frank Hall, John Hess, Les Fetton, and there was a kid who liked to lift weights and he would let me shower at his parent's house in Pedro between trips. I believe his name was Lewy.
