President's Notes:
First I would like to thank Charles and Robyn Steinert for putting on a fantastic reunion down in Charleston last year. Gave a lot of us the opportunity to go back to some of our old haunts. The weather was perfect and as always the Charleston hospitality was superb. BZ!! We are looking forward to a great reunion this year. Something a little different than in the past. Don Mandrino has set us up at a beautiful Inn up in the New York Finger Lakes area. While it is a little out of the way there is plenty to do and see as well as getting together again with your old shipmates.
If anyone has any comments or complaints that they would like to pass along to me, I can be reached at the email below, or on my cell at 860-235-5079.
See you all in Canandaigua.
Association President: Bill Fatek, president@usstiru.org.
