Who are the cronies, you might ask. Well, we are a group of folks who enjoy each others company and have all, at one time or another, spent some time in Rota; which is located in the province of Cadiz, Spain. We are, for the most part, a group of retired American military people from various branches of service. We are male and female, black and white, officer, civilian and enlisted folks with no political agenda. Cronies live all over the world, but our  spiritual home is in Rota (Cadiz) Spain.

Here are some photos of the folks who are called cronies. These photos will be replaced from time to time as new ones become available. Nobody likes to keep looking at the same old pictures week after week and I want to keep our crony pages interesting. I welcome the opportunity to publish your photos if you would like to see them on this page. Please email them to the webmaster. Only photos in good taste and relevance to these pages will be published.

Here are photos of some of the cronies. Click on a thumbnail to enlarge a photo and use your browser's back arrow to return to this page.
