June 23, 2009--Notice from Chuck Stone: The Reunion is a go!

     Dear Classmates,
We here in San Diego thank you for responding to our survey of interest in participating in a Mid Term Reunion in the spring of 2011.

The results of the survey were quite encouraging, with an overall response rate of about 43% (226 classmates responses of about 522 Classmates with known email addresses). Of these, 63% (142 classmates) were "Yes" (most were very enthusiastic)! Another 23% (52 classmates) were "Maybe" (with most leaning "Yes").

So, the USNA '63 Mid Term Reunion is a GO! Put March 31-April 3, 2011 on your calendar in ink!

We are negotiating a contract with the Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel on the San Diego waterfront (for very "Navy friendly" prices) to be our Headquarters Hotel. Our Events Committee is hard at work on a schedule of events which we hope will include a San Diego Harbor Cruise, a Graduation Ceremony and Parade honoring our Class at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, plus lots of time for meeting and greeting Classmates as well as multiple opportunities for sightseeing, golfing, touring, and just relaxing and enjoying San Diego!

We will continue working out the schedule details, and make a formal announcement sometime time over the next couple of months.

You can help by passing the word to the other ~50% of Class and Company mates who may not have received it directly.

Your San Diego Mid Term Reunion Committee looks forward to seeing you in San Diego in 2011!

Jim Fontana, Phillip Marsden, Bill Hughes, Don and Charlotte Jacobs, Rich Wilson, Jim Thornton, Lee Cargill, JJ Hogan, Dave Meyers, John Ryan, Karl and Marirose Kozak, Vern von Sydow, Grant Telfer, Bob Easton, John Middleton, Chet White, Mike Rubel, Chuck and June Stone, and several others!

We have received special help and support from Class Officers: Spencer Johnson (President), Mike Shelley (Secretary), Steve Coester (Web Master), and David Puckett (President, Class Foundation).

Classmate photos from the Reunion

I'm sorry to report that most of the below listed photos no longer can be viewed. The Kodak Gallery changed its storage rules requiring a minimum dollar amount to be spent and these classmates were unaware of that new requirement losing their albums. Only Barney's and Coester's are still viewable.
