[email protected] Message from the Board of Directors Dave Nesbitt, President Greetings Fellow Members, It is May already, where did the winter go? It is hard to believe that the Seattle Reunion is next month, shipmates are signing up and every- PHOTO BY: thing is a go! B. BOLEY We are all looking forward to this year’s reunion, everyone should really enjoy it. “King” is not an unfamiliar word in Seattle. Seattle is in King County, one of the local Radio and TV Stations call signs are “KING TV” and “KING FM”, so the residents will not mind if for a few days, we call it “King Country”! As a reminder, last year shipmates waited until the last minute before making their reservations for the Reunion. About six of them ended up having to stay at an alternate hotel. The same will hold true this year, th rooms that are not reserved by the 15 of May, will be released and the PHOTO BY: discounted price will end. Later in this Newsletter, Doug Schulz B. BOLEY (Reunion Director) will provide more detail as to the status of the Reun- ion. We have already started the preliminary efforts for the 2006 Reunion, based on membership inputs from the Survey we conducted last year, a tentative location of Baltimore, MD has been chosen, but we are cur- rently having difficulty finding a hotel that is not already booked, or out- side the price range members are willing to pay.
