2004 TIRU REUNION NEWS:
Attention All Tiru Sailors and their Mates:
We have the date, place and time for the upcoming 2004 reunion. All we are lacking is your attendance. I have double-checked with the Manitowoc harbormaster and have his permission to muster the crew of the USS Tiru for the 2004 Tiru Reunion. The tentative schedule is now the POD. For all of those who might not remember, the Plan of the Day.
Our number for the reunion looks to be right at the 90 plus or minus mark. We have more than doubled our ranks from our last reunion and are still getting contacts from more Tiru sailors daily. It has been a personal joy reading each and every letter, comment, email and communication you have sent in with your payment. I know from my own experience at the 1st Tiru Reunion, that our coming together filled a huge void in my life and filled it with more great memories of the past, present and looking toward making many more in the near future. We look forward to meeting many more Tiru crew members who will be joining us for the 2nd Reunion and looking to register many more for the website crew list. Don't forget Crazy Hat Night on Friday the 3rd back at the Hospitality Room after the Memorial Service. You might even win a prize!
So pack your old seabag, grab your mate, get to Manitowoc on Thursday the 2nd and don't be late. Burma-shave. For those that remember. See you all at the Inn on Maritime Bay In Manitowoc in September. We'll leave the light on for you. DBF
Don't forget to bring any Tiru Memorabilia that you can find room for in the seabag. Also if you cannot attend and have any messages for the reunion crew, please send by email so they can be posted in the Hospitality Suite.
