Turned over to George Lamb..
Currently I have found so many things are happening in 2027 that I would like to try and be involved in and I don't think I can give full attention to the SET UP and Planning of the 7th Reunion.
Since George Lamb (of Virginia Beach VA.) has agreed to hold a Reunion in the Norfolk or Virginia area...
I have agreed to turn over the WHOLE 7th Reunion to George Lamb...
I will be able to assist in anyway that I can during the Planning.
But I am also going to try and participate in many other Navy Functions that I have been neglecting over the past 8 years..
NOTE: The USS Saipan LHA-2 was the first ship for me during my 22 years of Naval Service. But I was also on the USS John F. Kennedy CV-67, the USS Forrestal CV-59, and the USS America CV-66 as Ships Company and spent many months onboard during the Various Cruises in and around the Atlantic Ocean and Med & Indian as well..
I thank you all for your understanding, and a SPECIAL THANK YOU to George Lamb for agreeing to take on the 7th Reunion of the USS Saipan LHA-2..
