REPORT
ON THE FIRST CGC WINONA REUNION HELD IN
1996
Here
is a short rundown of the first reunion
organized by Capt. Richard Wight, USCG
(Ret.) & LT.
Clifford Reeves, USGC (Ret.)
On
September 27,28, & 29, 1996 the first
CGC Winona reunion was held in Port Angeles.
A rough count showed approximately 100
people drifted through the reception area
during Friday and Saturday. Approximately
95 attended the cocktail hour and 85 attended
the banquet Saturday night. Friday
was devoted to getting reacquainted and
registration in the hospitality room and
reception area.
Saturday
was devoted to guided tours of the Coast
Guard Air Station and any of the ships
that were there, (new stuff to some of
the old timers), visiting some of the
dispensers of beverages where we formerly
frequented, & dedication of the Ship's
Bell and Memorial Plaque. Saturday
was topped off by a grand feast &
dancing.
Sunday
was departing day with a farewell breakfast.
During the banquet a vote was taken to
determine if another reunion was to be
undertaken, and it was decided the next
one should be held in 1998. A committee
of volunteers was formed and Cliff Rocheleau
(ET 63-65) was volunteered as chairman.
Cliff
can be contacted either by E-mail
or by mail at 215 Applegate Lane, Sequim,
WA 98382 (Phone 360-582-0925)
