I was discharged from US Navy active duty from TI in the spring of 1977. It was a sweet homecoming since I was born and raised in the San Francisco bay area (Belmont). Being an avid boater, I berthed my 37' power boat at TI from 1998 to 2001 until Almar Marine took over and basically ruined TI Marina. My father (born 1922) had his very first job at the age of 16 working on the Expo construction. He delivered rivets to the top of the Elephants that flanked the grand entrance to the park.
