Dinner includes tossed salad with Ranch or Italian dressings, Prime Rib of Beef (10 oz.) or Rosemary Chicken, twice baked potato, fresh vegetables, rolls and butter, Kahlua Nut Krunch, fresh brewed coffee and hot tea.
Still more about the reunion: The hotel informs us that children under 19 stay free in the same room, children under 12 eat free with each adult (4 max) at their restaurant and that the pool is heated to 82 degrees year round. Across the street from the hotel are the famous Point Loma sports fishing docks and yacht marinas (home of the America's Cup). A casual stroll will take you along a true working harbor where you may catch a glimpse of crews getting ready for fishing or the days catch covering the sidewalks or being unloaded off the fishing boats. Fresh fish doesn't get any fresher than at the CASUAL restaurants located along the docks. Both Point Loma Seafood and Hudson Bay Seafood have been recom-mended as the place where the "locals" go. While fish and chips, chowder and other fresh seafood dishes are the specialty, non-fish items are available for those of you who do not have a taste for seafood. Dress code is CASUAL - CASUAL - CASUAL. MAKE YOUR HOTEL RESERVATION EARLY AS ROOMS ARE LIMITED. CHANGES TO OUR ROSTER Leo Bonneau's address: 1 Ewald Ave, Flainville, MA 02762 Walter L.

It's one that salutes our brothers who have passed to the other side. A single rose by a down turned glass resides at the table's end; It's a tiny bit of nostalgia and a tribute to absent friends. Each in his turn will look that way, Each with his cup a brim, Each will remember a fellow Marines with, "There's Tommy", or "Frank", or "Jim'. There are those whose names escape us, and those we can't recall; Long history dims identity, but we drink to them one and all. When your earthly life is over and to the table's end you pass, Future Marines will remember, and turn an empty glass. Author Unknown SEA STORY Been having a little "nostalgia trip" With another friend, and thought you might enjoy the following story…. This same guy stayed for ten years in the Corps, and got out when he was Captain; became a stockbroker. |

One day he was trimming his hedge in San Diego, and stuck his finger in the hedge trimmer. He thought he had cut if off, but a neighbor ran over, and together they got the finger and hand wrapped in a handkerchief and took of the local emergency room.
He was shown right in, and in short order a young guy dressed all in green was there. He asked, "What happened here?" My friend replied, "Well, Doc, I thing I cut my finger off." The young guy started slowly unwrapping the handkerchief, and explained that he was not a doctor, but the emergency room attendant. My friend explained that he had been in the Marine Corps, and we called everyone in the medial field "Doc." The young guy remarked about the coincidence, since he had been a Corpsman with the Marines, and that is how he had gotten the job in the emergency room. So, they talked back and forth, who were you with when, etc, etc, as the young guy continued to slowly unwrap the finger. Finally, the handkerchief was off, and the young fellow remarked, Man, this is really nasty. How did you do this?" My friend replied, "I stuck it in an electric hedge trimmer." Without batting an eye, the young guy looked at him and said, "Were you an OFFICER?"
