Attended)
This Mini-Reunion was organized by member Len Kafer (and his lovely wife,

in 2005" Reunion
May 12-14, 2005, at the Holiday Inn & Suites in Orlando, Florida Reunion write-up provided
by President G. Frank Smith: It was now 12 May 2005 and the big
day had arrived. It was reunion time in "O" town. The registration and
check-in was conducted from 1-4PM in the hotel lobby. At that time everyone
received their reunion packets for the festivities for the next couple
of days of the reunion. We had a very nice turn out for the reunion. We
had a "Hospitality Room" available for the enjoyment of our members where
they could relax and have a few cool ones with their friends if they did
not desire to take advantage of any sight seeing or visit any of the local
attractions. The welcome aboard social hour was from 6-7PM where all the
members could meet old friends and make new acquaintances. A cold keg
of beer was available with a cash bar. The social hour was followed with
Hor D'Oeuvres served from 7-9PM with soft music. From 9PM till closing,
music was provided for dancing. There was one special extra provided for
the members. The original copy of the reunion yearbook from the reunion
in Derry in 2003 was made available for members to view. It was not possible
to have it printed as we would have required 300 copies minimum order
for the book and we did not have that many orders for the yearbook. It
was put on a table with other material from other members to view for
their enjoyment. On the 13th of May 2005, a social hour was held from
6-7PM in the ballroom followed by a sit-down dinner from 709PM. It was
originally scheduled as a buffet but due to technical difficulties we
had to go with a sit-down dinner instead. During the meal, soft music
was provided by a DJ. From 9PM till closing music was provided for dancing.
After the ballroom closed, many members retired to the Hospitality Room
for relaxation and a few drinks with their friends. It was a rumor that
one member enjoyed himself so much that he decided to sleep in the lobby
rather than go to his room. I am not sure of his name but I really think
he enjoyed both the dinner and the hospitality room. Of course, he had
a few of his friends there with him also!! That Saturday morning a general
membership meeting was held in the hospitality room. Many things were
brought up and discussed. A few of the highlights of that meeting was
the word put out regarding the intention of the Association to establish
a scholarship fund for one of the colleges in Derry. It was stated that
more info would be forth coming when the final details were worked out
by the scholarship committee. It was also announced that that the Association
was offering lifetime membership for the sum of $100.00 per member.
It was now the 14th of May 2005 and time for the dinner-dance finale.
The social hour was from 6-7PM in the ballroom. The dinner was served
from 7-9PM. From 9PM till closing, music was provided by a live band.
We all saw many nice moves out on that dance floor. Some I have never
seen before. Everyone either danced or just relaxed and socialized with
their friends over a cool drink. One of the highlights of the evening
was the raffle. Since the first day of the reunion, tickets were sold
on a basket of booze with the proceeds going to the scholarship fund.
Thanks to the generosity of the members, we have a nice sum to start off
the scholarship fund. The winner of the raffle was none other than Ron
Spadafora. He stated that he only wanted the basket but we all noticed
that he also took the booze!! Another highlight of the reunion was that
we were pleased to have two of our past commanding officers present at
the reunion. Both Capt. Ward and Capt. Lynch we present for the reunion.
A golf tournament was set-up by Ron Spadafora at the Shades of Green course
at Disney World. I understand that everyone had a great time. The big
winners of the tournament were the Dixon foursome. All in all. I guess
it would be safe to say that the food was great and the "Craic was Ninety".
Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and we will all look forward to seeing
our dear friends again at the next reunion in Derry in 2007. "The
Circa 1960 Group Mini-Reunion"
October 20-24, 2004, at the Holiday Inn in Virginia Beach, Va.
This group of alumni members held their second mini-reunion in
Virginia Beach in October 2004 and it was a rousing success thanks to
Len and Paula Kafer and others. The small size of the group and the closeness
over the 4 or 5 days allows the members to truly bond. The memory of some
of these old timers is truly amazing and one sea story leads to another.
Members Phil Wade, Len Kafer, Barney Westphal and Tank Byron provided
the entertainment at the dinner and these guys only get better with age.
The fact that many of the members in group are retired makes arranging
these mini-reunions that much easier but other year group should give
it a try. You will be amazed how close a group can get.
Photos
received so far can be viewed here Close
to 300 members and spouses attended our five-day reunion in "The
Town That We Loved So Well", for a fun-filled time which included
two nightly receptions and a Dinner/Dance. Attendees also visited
the "old base" which brought back many memories for those
who served on the base. In attendance was 1942 Alumnus Howard Dodds,
who opened the Springtown base, and 1977 Alumnus Mike Anderson, who
handed over the keys to the base when it was closed. The Mayor of
Derry, Shaun Gallagher, attended the Grand Gala Reception and personally
handed out gold medallions to each of the U.S. Sailors who returned
for the reunion. This was not a "once in a life time" event,
as our Alumni Association By-laws call for quadrennial reunions to
be held in Derry. We WILL return to Derry in 2007. (1) Here are a couple of
group photos taken at the Derry Wall: view

Las Vegas, Nevada.
We are currently contacting hotels and it would be most helpful to know approximately how many of our
Association members would look forward to attending the 2017 reunion in Las Vegas.
While we have not selected exact dates at this time, we can tell you we are looking at the period
July through September. We found in the past that hotels offer better
(i.e., lower price) room rates to groups who book during time periods when the hotel is looking to fill rooms.
So, we'll give them that time period and see what they offer.
It would be most helpful to us if you would give us an indication of whether or not you would consider
joining us in Las Vegas for the reunion. A YES reply would NOT be a commitment,
as we know things can change over the next year. We will only use your reply to gauge the approximate
number of rooms we might need to block for the reunion, which is also helpful in getting lower price rooms.
Please respond by e-mail to ford427@peoplepc.com with a reply of either YES, or NO.
