2010 Reunion

If you haven't attended a USS Collett reunion (especially if you're on or near the West coast) this is the year to make the effort.  San Diego is still a Navy town at heart even though many of the old haunts are gone.  Of course, the city has grown and changed but the waterfront is still active - now with the USS Midway Museum, the Maritime Museum and cruise ships arriving almost daily.

 

The most exciting aspect of this years reunion - for reunion regulars AND for new attendees - is that our hotel is on the site of the former Naval Training Center.  A few original buildings remain as does the USS Neversail and the bridge across the channel.  Shops, restaurants, schools and businesses mix beautifully on the property and the views are spectacular - of downtown, the water and surrounding areas.  A park is being developed along the channel adjacent to the hotel, will be finished soon.

 Hope to see you in San Diego.

This one, I think was taken on base as all are in dungarees. Possibly Grandy Island in Alongapo? I guess it could have been the PO club in Yokosuka, but in dungarees? I can’t remember those in the foreground, but at the table in the rear are myself looking at the camera, Bill West on the extreme right, and I think the fellow with his back to the camera was Bill Rose.
