Saturday, September 13th,
Nashville Tour and Annual Dinner Banquet:
Early morning, we boarded the bus again to
see the full-scale replica of the ancient
Greek temple, The Parthenon. Next, we
stopped at the Tennessee World War II
Memorial. Wayne Agee could not help himself
when he saw water again. We soon found him
in the middle of the water fountains. Do
you remember Chattanooga in 2011?
After lunch at the Farmer�s Market, we
headed for the Country Music Hall of Fame
and Museum. Shown were film and audio
clips, glittery costumes and well-traveled
instruments that bring history to life in
the museum�s permanent exhibits. Last, but
not least, was a tour of the Lane Motor
Museum with over 150 automobiles,
motorcycles, amphibious and military
vehicles. Shipmates were hard-pressed to
leave this great collection. Our memorial
service was held in the Hermitage Room. The
business meeting followed.
The Annual Dinner Banquet was held in the
evening with entertainment by �The
Moonlighter Big Band.� Joe Theisen �tickled
the keys� on his accordion before the
festivities began. We had a wonderful time!

Sunday, September 14th, Farewell
Breakfast:
Sunday morning, we met for our Farewell
Breakfast. After a great 4-day reunion, it
was time to say goodbye to everyone. There
were lots of hugs and handshakes. A great
big �thank you� goes to Gene & Nora McNeill
for hosting Nashville 2014. See you all in
Tampa in 2015!
