They used to meet monthly and had more than one hundred members.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
Rest In Peace Mr Richardson. My father took him to the last reunion. He was a awesome guy Chowchilla
