Registration went very smooth. Traffic flowed in and out most of the day. Chris, Jim, Bill and Roger were there with handshakes and smiles all through the day. We had a table of memorabilia set up that got looked over relentlessly. Thanks to all the shipmates that sent in or brought items. A walk down memory lane would have been empty without the artifacts.

The Groton Inn was a gracious host. They patroled the room often keeping us neatened up. The bar was across the hall and most shipmates and families stayed in the building. Our overflow hotel, the Ramada Inn was only a short walk across the parking lot. Any given time we hit the hallways, the foyer, the bar or the registration room, we found ourselves amongst friends.
