9th Biennial Reunion
Sheraton Music City Hotel
Nashville, Tennessee
2004
September 7th - September 12th
“Great Reunion”, “Best one I have attended”, “Had a great time, can’t wait for the next one”, “Fantastic Hotel” “Wow!, What a reunion”
These are just some of feedback that we have received about our reunion.
Really was a great reunion. Everything seems to have gone smoothly. No major complaints.
The Management and staff of the Sheraton Music City Hotel were very accommodating and went out of their way to make us comfortable.
We were given one section of the hotel for our registration, sea stories and banquet rooms and our ship’s store.

Our one big disappointment was that our reunion shirts had a major flaw in the background color behind the guns. We had to return them all to the manufacturer.
The tours were great and the sea stories were even better than last reunion. We had a good turnout for our sing-along, lead by Martin Sippel. Our Western night was a lot fun with square dancing, etc. Craig Duncan and his musical group were just fantastic. They played a good mix including Blue Grass. They entertained us at our Banquet with a repertoire of music from all eras.
Our compliments to the girl singer who accompanied the band.
