USS GOLDSBOROUGH DDG-20 1963-1993

 Well about six weeks until summer and we now have a little over 3 months until we all gather in Bremerton for our 2012 Goldsborough Reunion and I hope you all are looking forward to the reunion and our beautiful Pacific Northwest.

If you plan on visiting Seattle while in the area please be advised that a lot of construction work is in progress near Alaskan Way (the main thorough fare for the waterfront attractions) consequently many, many parking spots were lost. It is therefore recommended that you go to Seattle as a foot passenger on the Ferry.

The 2012 Goldsborough Reunion will be held in Bremerton, WA from the 5th to 10th of August at the Baymont Inn & Suites; Room rates are $91.79 with tax per night. When calling to make reservations please state you are with the Goldsborough Association.
