09/06/06: Going through my file of photos, I came across these pictures of one of our past "hostess". I don't remember her name nor the bar I took them in, but if there is a Rota Rooter out there that knows, I will post it here.
9/26/06 update: Well, it didn't take long! Robert Canavello (YN2 - 1966-1969 - S-5 Supply Yeoman & Anchorman drummer) has identified our "hostess" as Maria Mulero. He thinks she worked in the Suzie Bar. This is highly likely as the Suzie was my "home" bar. He believes she is still in Rota.
03/22/07 update: I received the following email message from Terry L. West, a radioman that never left Rota:
"Hello. I enjoyed looking at your history of the USS CANOPUS as I was
at Rota COMSTA during those same years. The lady in the first photo
of Rota Bars 1967 is Maria Mulero Jimenez. She mainly worked at the
Missouri Bar. I lived with her off and on for three years. She is
still in Rota and lives around the corner from the old White Horse
bar.
They recently tore down the last monument of old Rota, Benny's
Bar. The Suzie is a ice cream parlor. Have been here for years
and Rota is basically a playground for the rich of Seville as they
now have roads to get here quickly.
Just to assure you that I am
speaking with knowledge about certain subjects, I am now married to a
relative of the above Maria, who looks amazingly like her. I had
several friends on the CANOPUS as well as the HOLLAND. Never really
knew their names but saw them in town often. Definitely was the good
days."

10/6/05: Ed just found a picture of an Old Hong Kong bar "hostess". Anyone know her name?
We heard from Frank Chebiniak on Oct. 22:
" that picture is of a girl named "Conchita" from Salamanca. I remember her well. Quick of wit. A real sweetheart. married a guy in the Navy (VQ-2 I think) Last known- living in the Chicago area."
Frank got back to us again on Nov. 24th:
" another shot of rota girls 1967...l-r my 1st wife Susi, another of the mystery "hostess" Conchita, and the girl that cleaned the bars Regla."
