It was August 15, 1914, that the steamship Ancon made the historic first passage through the Panama Canal. A few years after that Rita, Donnie and I made our historic first passage through the Officers Club, at the edge of the canal, to sip our rum and cokes while we watched a few more boats pass through the canal.
If I'm not mistaken, that old Officers Club is gone now. Rita, Donnie and I are just barely hanging on and the canal has been, recently, "remodeled" and is newer and better than ever.
