The Party's Over |
|
This has been our seventh reunion (not including the two get togethers) since the formation of the USS Halibut Veteran's Association. Next time, in 2010, we will celebrate USS Halibut's Diamond Jubilee, being in the 50th year since her commissioning. It's going to be a special time, so don't miss the celebration. See y'all then. |
