Haze gray and underway again. I am looking forward to next reunion. Didn't make the 1st. I told my wife its great to be having in Jax, Fla. Right next to old Talbot homeport of MMayport, Fla. Lots of memories to be remembered, and possibly relive a few good ones. Looking forward to seeing some old shipmates. Msc Gowan, Rmcs Goldsmith, Os3 Wade. hopefully, my best bud Rm3 Tom Mcwhinnie. Also all the Ets I served with. Et2 Reichert and others.
: Shipmates,
: There sure is some excitement going around
: about the next Talbot reunion (2002). It
: is very important that the excitement is
: controlled to where it does not impede the
: hard work and planning of the reunion
: team.
: During the Daytona reunion, there were
: volunteers who formed teams to take the
: next reunion to their respective cities
: being, Tampa, Jacksonville, Indianapolis,
: or Las Vegas. Las Vegas had the most
: votes. There was 23 shipmates who attended
: the meeting and voted on the perspective
: sites. Since the reunion there have been
: several shipmates who have found out about
: the reunion or Skivvywaver site and now
: are on the active roster. They also had
: their input on the next location for the
: reunion.
: There was a official poll taken from all
: former Talbot sailors that are on our
: mailing list (135) to give us the greatest
: possibility to have the largest group
: attend the next reunion. We achieved a 73%
: participation in the vote. Here is a link
: to the results of that poll.

: After communication with OS3 Michael Wade he
: conceded the Las Vegas site to
: Jacksonville with his full support. This
: was done in agreement that it is most
: important for the second reunion to build
: our numbers. We know that not everyone
: will be able to attend every reunion held,
: therefore it only makes good sense to
: build on the excitement we all share after
: Daytona and enlarge our list of
: participants. The larger the group the
: better our chances to continue reunions
: with sizable groups in the future.
: The Jacksonville team is busy checking
: sites, and prices as well as the important
: things like off season rates, tours
: available, and other events that may be
: scheduled. It takes months to plan a
: successful event, therefore the plans are
: in full progress for Jacksonville. When
: the dates , rates, and location are
: confirmed a posting will be placed on the
: website as well as emailed to everyone on
: the mailing list.
: The Daytona participants appointed MSC Ed
: Gowan as the leader of this association
: group. The reunion committees were set up
: with the understanding that all plans and
: information would flow through Ed before
: we finalize. This is more of a comparison
: of lessons learned then anything else.
: Keep the excitement going and look forward
: to a Fantastic reunion in the Jacksonville
: area. The Jacksonville team has promised
: me the biggest show ever.
: ED Gowan
