| The 2006 Reunion - Reunion 18 7-10 September 2006 - Hotel Nexus, Seattle, Washington | ||||
Hello Shipmates, Ladies and Friends.
Time sure flies! Reunion 18 is already history, and reunion 19 is in the works.
I am currently working on the Milwaukee bash and really looking forward to it.
From all reports, and the pictures on the website, y'all had a great time in
Seattle; of course, when DIDN'T we have a great time at any Sumner reunion?
"Many Thanx" to Kelly, Carla, and the cadre of volunteers who helped
make this a memorable event ---- and to those who attended; without YOU there
would be no reunion -- the 3rd letter in reunion is U -- all of U.
