Dear Shipmates,
The 2006 Las Vegas reunion was our best attended ever. Many
new faces joined the regulars in a
town that offers just about anything you want, anytime you
want it. Everyone had a great time
making new friends and rekindling old friendships.
Each of our reunions have been "well done" and provided a
good time for all. It appears the 2007
Nashville reunion will continue that fine tradition.
Jack Maguire, Zelt Dunbar and Chip Chapin are working hard
to plan an active and fun filled week.
Please check the reunion link for updates on activities and
events.
No trip to Nashville would be complete without a trip to the
Grand Old Opry. It is an add-on
attraction to the reunion and there are details also on the
reunion link.
However, if you have ever considered coming to the reunion
and were just waiting for some true
inspiration, well here it is.
Admiral Michael J. Mullen, Chief of Naval Operations and
more importantly, former Captain of the
Goldsborough, will be our guest speaker for the Thursday
night banquet and auction. The auction
is always a treat, but with this distinguished and very
honored guest, it should indeed be a very
special occasion. One you really need to be there for. What
a unique privilege for our
association to be able to host an event with a speaker of
such national, international and naval
importance. The Vanderbilt Navy ROTC is scheduled to provide
the honor guard for the Admiral.
Please make every effort to join your shipmates in
remembering our past, celebrating our
friendships, and honoring the role we played in the service
to our country.
Pat Taylor, President |
