REUNION PAST:
Dear Shipmates,
Just a few short lines to all my shipmates
saying thanks for the wonderful time last weekend. As we get older this
special club we have keeps us young at heart. No other brotherhood could
be as priceless as the one we share, and I appreciate all the friendship
and comradely that we share. I look forward to our next reunion, and will
start working on it this week. As soon as I have any information I will
send it out for a vote as to where we have it. The candidates are
Indianapolis with the CA35, Branson MO, Woodbridge VA, Memphis TN and
Groton, CT
. Bobbie is working on
Dallas
for next year with the SubVets. Anything special you would like to do or
see please let me know. Please keep in touch.
Thanks for the memories
Howard

THROUGHOUT AMERICAN
HISTORY our military has provided for the national defense and preserved
our way of life. The American military is not a faceless body but a
collection of individuals — patriots united by a legacy of selfless service
and sacrifice. America's veterans know the cost of freedom and have never
looked to others to pay that price.
THAT SPIRIT POWERS this
rallying cry to veterans. Now is the time to find your brothers and sisters,
those who also once bore the nation's burden. Look not solely to government
agencies but to each other, as well. As ten percent of the American
population, you have the ability to inform, to employ, to mentor, to heal —
to change the lives of other veterans. Please Read & sign the Veterans
Bill of Rights!

2nd Reunion pictures are coming!
I had the good fortune to be at the commissioning for the Texas in
Galveston, TX on 9 Sept 2006. The first lady was the primary speaker and
there was about 10,000 people invited - much more and a lot warmer than the
Indy commissioning in January at New London Sub base. A line to the
Texas is below - visit and sign their log.......Bob
The 697crew.com is for all shipmates who served onboard the Indy from the
Commissioning crew to the Decommissioning crew and all others in between,
this is going to be your site. A focal point for shipmates old, new and a
variety of
memorabilia.
I have finished the design an "Indy Coin"
in "Gold" or "Silver" finish, are now available for purchase on the net and
if any are left at the 2007 Reunion. A portion of the
price will go to the Indy Committee. In addition I have available a limited
quantity of high quality Gold or Silver money clips with screw off top for
ease of inserting or removing your Indy coin or your favorite casino chip!....Thanks Bob
Kudos to Howard and Mary Kligge and John & Agnes
Petersen for creating a memorable 1st reunion
Please look around and if you have
any updates or corrections please email me. I don't have all of the
information that I need to complete the members area and what is listed for
each. Does anyone have a chronological listing with dates of the home ports
for the Indy? or perhaps the ports of call.. working on some ideas!
