My uncle and aunt, Emil "Scotty" and Georgi Scott were very good friends with Bob and Chris Angle. I will tell the story of Bob and Chris through the letters that Chris has written to me the last few years. In November 1937, a bon voyage party sending Scotty Scott off to China as a flight instructor under Chennault for the Chinese Air Force, takes place on board the Coolidge. Georgi is in the poka-dot dress (check the matching shoes) and her "Scotty" is standing to her right -- with the curl hanging over his forehead. The only other person I have been able to identify in this photo is Chrystal Schultz -- soon to become Mrs. Robert Angle. Chrystal is in the center wearing a dark dress and hat, and Bob Angle's wings on her bodice.  Aboard the S.S.
