"KEEP THE MEMORIES ALIVE
Look in those lockers, look in those sea bags, look in those old moving boxes that your wife won’t let you open. What is the “treasure” from your service in the finest submarine in the History of the Boomers you could share with your Shipmates?
You’ve got it, we need it, you donate it, they can treasure it too.
We will raffle it off – move it around – give it to someone else to dust and care for – KEEP THE MEMORIES ALIVE
Drop us a line, let us know what it is, bring it to the Reunion and we will raffle it off as a Door Prize.
P.S. - If it is just too precious to part with and bring new joy to a Shipmate, bring it along anyway and we will put it on display during registration day festivities."
If you would like to donate an item or have any questions regarding displaying your memorabilia for others to see, please contact Jim Huston at jehuston@earthlink.net
