Highlights
Our Association is still going strong. We had 95 people attend our Charleston Reunion. The Crown Plaza Charleston is a first class hotel and it showed. The facility was beautiful and everything went well. Shipmates and guests spent quite a few hours in our Hospitality Room enjoying beverages and snacks. It’s great when the crew gets together socializing and telling sea stories.
The weather was perfect for our tour. In the morning we toured Charleston stopping at the Citadel Military Academy, after lunch we went to Patriot’s Point. Shipmates and guests went aboard the USS Yorktown and, of course, the Sumner destroyer USS Laffey.
On the last day of the reunion we had our business meeting and Memorial service at the Crown Plaza hotel. Later that evening we held our banquet. It was a pleasant affair. We had a nice meal and enjoyed dancing to music.
Next year we are heading to Florida, April 26, 27 & 28, Friday thru Sunday, we will hold our reunion at the Crowne Plaza Tampa-Westshore.
