A few months ago we had heard that Jack and Shannon Dowell were planning a trip to visit New England during the late spring. That started the gears working and the thought of getting a bunch of shipmates together might be in the offering. The word was passed around and a Get-Together was now in the serious planning stages. It was decided that Biddeford Maine would be the site for the Get Together. Larry "Greaser"  Oiler and Bob "Boomer" Provencher, were going to be the Co-Coordinators of this event. The following pictures are self evident of the great time that we all had. Shipmates came from SC, MD MO, MA, FL, ME, and NH. The one aspect that really made it a great time was that all of the wives were there as well.
