2004 Reunion - Charleston, SC
Charleston provided a step back in time. Once a cradle of Southern gentility, Charleston
is now one its last bastions. We witnessed a great experience. It was also our most
successful reunion to date...we had a total of 302 members, spouses, and
guests in attendance. Pictured above are 144 shipmates that attended....job well done.
