Optional Tours - Sat., Sept. 23rd |

 |
Saturday morning, up early again and down to the bus
and off to our optional tours of "Believe it or Not" by
Ripley, then over to "Titanic" for a guided tour.
Both exhibits were very interesting and well worth the
early rise. We returned to the hotel around 2:30
PM and had a little time to relax before the Honor
Ceremony and Annual Business Meeting.
At 3:00 PM everyone gathered together to remember and
honor those shipmates that we learned had passed away
since our last reunion. Our shipmate and
Association Chaplain, Mark Rucker, provided a very
moving and impressive service. At the completion
of the ceremony the guest departed and the crew members
held their Annual Business Meeting. The current
officers were re-elected and the site for the 2008
reunion selected. Shipmate Don McClane was
presented with a Certificate of Appreciation for his
service to the Association as Secretary. |
