Merry Christmas - Updated Attendance List

Merry Christmas to all and to all a Happy New Year.

We now have 57 shipmates that are planning to attend. We have only 4 months until the reunion and I am hoping that we will get more to attend. There are a number that have said the are NOT SURE. If you have now decided to come to the reunion, let me know.

I need information to be be able to make sure we get the needed number of buses for the tour of the Mayport Naval Base and a ship that will be in port. The Navy needs the names of those going to tour the Base 30 days in advance of the tour (March 28, 2011).

My next posting will include the schedule of the reunion. Right after the first of the year I am also planning to mail (USPS) and email those attending, the reservation form. This form will allow you to select the events you are planning to attend and to send me a check to cover their cost.

Here is the list of attendees as of this date.
