The Clarion Hotel in Charleston host many navy reunions. Charlston was the second
largest Naval base on the east coast and is a nice city to visit with lots of
history and attractions and friendly Southern Hospitality. At right is the picture
of Morton nowe hanging in the Clarion reunion hall of fame with the signatures
of all who attended. |
Mini Bull Session abound. Old shipmates talk over old memories. Shared memories.
|
The last evening is the banquet. Fine food, prayers for those gone on before and
then socializing and dancing. |
Rick Palmer and wife Anita |
