Brother Minutemen:

The registration and tour forms for the April 2016 Gulfport reunion have just come out via email. If you are planning to come to the reunion and didn't get your copies by email send me an email and I'll forward them to you. Don't wait! There are only 250 tickets being sold for the banquet. We will hold our alumni meeting 11AM Sunday morning, before the going-away picnic.

Recently joined the MCB 62 Alumni Group. Searched the member names and saw so many names I remembered. It's been 50 years, don't know if I'll recognize any faces. I was in Personnel for four years so I got to see and know most of the Seabees cause they would come thru our office for leave, training, transfer, discharge. After 4 1/2 years of active duty with only MCB-62, I joined MCB-22 in the reserves for 10 more years. The Can-Do spirit has always helped me overcome problems encountered. It cracks me up when I see any kind of construction jobs being milked by workers that I know the Seabees could complete in hours or days. Shout out to my fellow Personnelman, David Gudgel. Seen any more Giant Frogs. Hope to see ya'll in Gulfport.
