This is my first post in some time. Preparing videos for the reunion and website, developing the full website and other self imposed tasks have kept me a bit busy. The following are just the initial photos of the reunion, taken of groups from different eras of the ships time in service:

Portland was my first Small reunion. I had the opportunity to meet several new shipmates that served on the Small over the years and I had the added pleasure of reconnecting with old shipmates that I had not seen in more than 40 years. It was one of those rare occasions where my high expections were exceeded. Bert and Eileen Royster were excellent hosts. Bert arranged and conducted several unscheduled tours of the area and Eileen provided us with her excellent home made cookies. As a capper, Bert and Chuck James provided shuttle service to the airport on the date of departure. Well done!
