I just found out about the reunion. I'm guessing plans are already underway for the reunion and the location is final. I think San Diego would have been a much better location, can we still vote. What other information is available about location, etc.


Thanks

There are now two new hotels in Bremerton as well a a newly developed water front. With Navy lodge availability in Bremerton and Silverdale, this might work as a good place to have the reunion. The light rail is now complete from the airport to the ferry docks so those using air or train for travel have easy access to Bremerton via the ferry system.

There are beaches in Seattle. Lots of water around there. The weather is generally warm and mild. Seattle was picked because that is where we commissioned the McKee. That was her "beginning".

I'm willing to help too if I can do it from here. What is the weather going to be like there in August when the reunion's going on? Why didn't we just pick nice sunny places with a beach for this?

I see there are hundreds of people signed up as crew members but there are no chats. Is no one really out there?

Sorry to say it folks, but things have changed for me in the past months. Due to job cuts and the economy the way it is, I have to resign my post. All I can hope is that someone else is willing to take up the torch and run with this reunion idea.

Good luck,

Ron was a member of DC Division and was a friend of mine. I will never forget that day or the search for him that followed. Very sad times...

Ken,

I live in the greater Seattle area and I can help out with some of the planning. Like everyone else, I don't have a ton of time, but I will help out as I can. Let me know what you need.

Thanks,

Ken,
I sent you a message some time ago about giving a helping hand with a reunion. Haven't heard anything back. I don't have a ton of time, but am willing to do what I can.

We had that many small boats, in the begining we could carry them all but we stoped. We never made any big deployments either so we left a few... The bow is missing 1st div lpo locker however. model looks generic... it did bring back emotions.

Take a closer look at the photos on the site, especially the 03 level.(The level with the cranes.) Note the # of small boats. I'm pretty sure we never had that many boats onboard. Not too accurate if you ask me.

Well, I seem to have at least 1 volunteer for the committee, Kevin Senter. Welcome Kevin.

And to any other members out there with a little time on their hands, HELP!

We need to get a count on the number of members that will be attending. This needs to be done before we can do anything else. So, please, if you can help, it would be appreciated. August will be here before we know it! 10 months will go fast!

Thank you,

Kenneth Hoss

Hello all,

I find myself in need of new volunteers for the reunion committee, as it seems the previous committee has jumped ship. I will need at least 4 other members to assist with planning, meet and greet, and hospitality.

It looks like our first annual reunion will be held in Seattle, with a tenative start date of August 13th, and ending on the 16th. I will need help with contacting former crew members, and getting an estimate of how many plan to attend.

So, if you have the time, please contact me at: khoss2@tx.rr.com*

*This e-mail is only good until Oct.9th, as I am changing providers and will be getting a new address. I will post that address as soon as I have it.

I thought you might be interested in this website. They sell ships models and the link below is direct to the page where they are selling a model of the USS McKee AS-41.

www.motionmodels.com/ships/misc/as41.html

I am not recommending their service as I have not done business with them. If any member does order a ship model please add a comment to this post telling us how the transaction went.

Ken and all interested crew members. Ken asked me to stop the poll as of the 16th of September. Unfortunately the poll program I am using does not allow me to stop the poll and continue to allow it to show. It is either on or off.

I have removed the poll from the website, so here are the results as of 16 Sept. 2009.

Where To Hold First USS McKee AS-41 Reunion?

Seattle, WA 61 62.2%
San Diego, CA 21 21.4%
Norfolk, VA 12 12.2%
Any of the Above 4 4.1%
None of the Above 0 0%

Number of Voters : 98
First Vote : Tuesday, 14 July 2009 21:15
Last Vote : Wednesday, 16 September 2009 23:12

Okay! So it looks like it's Seattle! Don't forget to bring your rain gear.

If the committe members will contact me, we can start the planning phase.
