We gathered in San Diego California from September 4-7 for our fourth biennial
reunion and Business Meeting and had a great time visiting MCRD, renewing old
friendships and telling sea stories.
Those assembled chose to hold our 2009 reunion at Quantico Virginia and the
Marine Corps National Museum where we anticipate a record turnout.
