Virginia Beach 1995
Our
Chaplain E. B. Smith was Chairman for the 89th Squadron’s 6 reunion,
April 26-29, 1995 at the Holiday Inn Executive Center in Virginia Beach, Va. We
had a large hospitality room where we could have both registration and
refreshments. 90 people registered. Thursday morning began with a Mess Tent
breakfast, followed by tours to Yorktown and Williamsburg or to Virginia Beach,
Norfolk Amphibious Base and downtown Norfolk. Nine golfers headed by Pete
Palmos went to Eagle Haven Golf Course.
On Friday, we
toured the General Douglas MacArthur Memorial in Norfolk, had lunch at
Waterside and visited Nauticus. Some stayed for the Norfolk Azalea Festival
Parade that evening.
Saturday morning,
E. B. led us in the Squadron Memorial Service, followed by the business meeting
which was conducted by President John Dugan. An air show at the Norfolk Naval
Air Station was the afternoon activity. Saturday evening, we enjoyed the
Squadron Banquet and the speakers, our own Dr. Bob Reed and Judge Bill Fones.
Sunday morning
we said goodbye and began to look forward to Galveston 1996.
