It is great to see that we have a number from the 40's that are planning to attend.
I had intended to visit JAX in March to select a hotel but time has run out. I will be going in May to select a hotel.
From April 10th until April 28th Carol and I will be on a cruise from Miami to Rome, Italy The first seven days of the cruise will be at sea and I may feel like I am back in the Navy on Anti-Sub Patrol!!!! At least I won't have any mid-watches to stand.
Smooth Sailing, Jim Julian
