I wonder if you know or knew about the "crew's lounge" that was built into a void by the Machine shop on Midway. All painted black on the inside, black lights, posters and couches and recliners and a refigerator with 32 and a half degree cokes in it. I visited Midway just one time, that was an evening in June 1975 and went to that compartment and had a Coke in there. It was in Yokosuka at that time. Just wondering if you know anyone who was there at that time.
