SSBN 634 Association
At the 2002 reunion we held a
short business meeting. The purpose of
the meeting was to set up an association who would be responsible for reunions,
keeping members informed, and maintaining a Ships Store with hats, shirts,
etc. It was voted that the annual dues
would be $10.00. This money would be
used as seed money towards reunions, mail-outs, and for a small inventory of
ships store items. Although $10.00
was voted for dues, I am requesting that for the first year, we each send in an
extra $10.00 as an initial startup for our treasury. It appears that Reno will be more
expensive than the Duluth reunion.
While not extravagant, we would like to have a first class affair, and
also retain a balance that would be adequate for operational costs.

2002 Reunion
The 2002 Reunion was
held at Duluth Minnesota September 17th through the 20th
with the dinner held on Friday night the 20th. I want to especially thank Pete Peterman,
Charlie York, and Don Ennis for their work in setting up this reunion. We had 24 crewmembers sign the guest book
or the banner. This group included
plankowners, continuing till 1989.
Several of those attending met old shipmates they hadnt seen for years,
and enjoyed their own reunions. As
usual, they found that the gap of time disappeared after about five minutes of
reminiscing.
