Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce photo

Good sleeping rooms, GREAT Hospitality Suite and SUPER events made for a memorable time at our 13th annual reunion.  You can find more accolades along with photos and comments in the May '06 edition of the 820 Newsletter. If it sounds as if we're overdoing the superlatives, you just had to be there to fully appreciate the entire experience from beginning to end.

No question about it... things went remarkably smooth.  The record-setting attendees were able to move from event to event without delay.  The talent was world-class.  The food was tasty and plentiful and our infamous "never an empty glass" beverage bar went nearly non-stop.  (Ask our Head Bartender, Mike Zuby.  Great job, Mike!)  Interesting to notice how as the demographics of our members change our beverage choices change also. 

The nature of our photo library for the reunion has made if difficult to discern what day some photos were taken.  It's not a terribly important point.  We're very happy that we have several photo contributors.  Jerry Dunnigan, Larry Dixon, Delton Orthouse, Dick Koeniger and David Ray have stepped forward with their photos.  If you'd like to share your photos with your shipmates, feel free to send a disk or CD to  8926 Phyliss Avenue, Sarasota, FL 34231. If you only have 6-8 to share you can email them to shipsoffice@ussrich.org. Please keep the individual photos limited to 600 pixels or less in any one direction.
