USS SEA FOX (SS-402) ASSOCIATION REUNION


Hi All:

 The next USS SEA FOX (SS-402) Association Reunion will be May 22 - May 27, 2016 at The INN at San Ignatio (as in 2011) in Green Valley, AZ.  Suites $99 and rooms $79.  Come earlier for Saturday, May 21 SubVets Tucson Base meeting if you want.  INN (520) 393-5700 or look up their 800 number on the web.
Monday night Welcome Dinner at Jerry Bob's in Green Valley, a restaurant owned by Jeremy Johnson, grandson of one of our three remaining ambulatory WW II submariners, Les Johnson.  Perhaps a meal at Cafe Tremelo, a restaurant owned by the son of our own SEA FOX sailor, Carle Blackwell.  Maybe Closing Dinner at the Famous Cow Palace ( we were there before).  Perhaps a tour of our local Navy JROTC unit facility.  Otherwise very low key.  Lots of relaxing and Sea Story telling.

 There will be an official announcement coming with all the info after we work out the details.  And, coverage in our next newsletter.
We are a "Last-man-standing" organization.  There are fewer and fewer of us left.  I am open to hosting more reunions and I hope others are as well.  Yet, it may turn out otherwise.  This may be our last stand.  So show up.  We will have a great time.

Joel
