Highlights
We held our opening reception on May 27. On May 28, 66 of us took a short cruise on the Erie Canal followed by a buffet lunch at the Canal. The next day, 65 attendees went to Niagara Falls and visited a number of different attractions on the American side. Upon returning to the hotel, we held our raffle of various items donated by those in attendance. On Saturday, May 30, we first went to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed house “Graycliff”, and then on to the Buffalo and Erie County Naval and Military Park where 3 museum ships were open for visitors. We had a buffet lunch on the fantail of the USS Little Rock (CLG-4). At the closing banquet held on May 30, shipmates voted to hold the next reunion (2017) in Portland, Maine.
