The Grand Ole Opry was on Friday night. Saturday night we went
aboard the river boat General Jackson. We had a great meal and live Vegas style show. As far as I know, no one got sea sick. There
was a lot of sight seeing done by all since Nashville has a lot to see.
At our business meeting we honored all of our known deceased
shipmates. We elected Carl Flick as the third board member and also our Association Chaplain. We made Sharon Bornemann a Honorary
Lifetime Member of our association. We discussed the possibility of going on a cruise. We voted to go to Las Vegas next year. As soon
as I know dates, you'll know dates.
What a great time!!!!
