Happy 80th Anniversary to the Seabees!! My Uncle, Christy Schweitzer, enlisted in the Seabees in September 1942, just shy of his 40th Birthday. He was assigned to the 62nd Battalion. After helping to restore Pearl Harbor, his Battalion arrived at Iwo Jima. He is my hero; I only wish I could have met him. God bless the Seabees!!

Looking for a guy I was with in NMCB 62 BACK IN THE 80s A BU1 Stephen Wilson. I believe he got out for a while and came back in. That is when I met him. When I met him he was a BU1. I think he left 62 and got orders to New London CT. Maybe met a female Bowswain mate on Diego Garcia. May have married her in New London. I Went into the NAVY SEABEE'S 12/1977. Went to Gulfport for UT A School. Spent 2yrs at Public Works Naval Air Station Keflavik Iceland. Got sent to NMCB 62 6/1980. Deployed to Puerto Rico, Diego Garcia and to a Seabee Team to Palau. Off Active Duty 1983. Stayed an Active Drilling Reservist till I retired in 2001 as a UT 1. Due to civilian job Spent time in NMCB 13. 21, 15, 21 again .

12-23-2021: One of our Seabee shipmates, Carl M. emailed me: Norm, The Reunion will be April 21 thru 24 Sun. which will have a get together behind the Hotel like 2 yrs. ago. So folks like myself have stayed at the hotel till Mon. to leave. I'm checking with the hotel tomorrow if I can be on a Reunion rate. A new group of folks will be checking in that Mon. as well. So do you think we will be able to stay till Mon.?--- Carl M. (I couldn't answer him, so I forwarded the email to Bob Smith, Gulfport Island X-1 reunion committee, and an employee at the Historical Foundation who said)
"All, There will be no tent behind the hotel this reunion. I believe our All Seabee Reunion Rate is for 21-24 Apr 2022. You will have to call them (the hotel) about rate questions. Bob".
This is Sec Norm again. As of 2:22PM, 23 Dec. the reunion costs, tour places, reunion events, or reunion reservation forms have not been published yet. My plan when I get the reunion & reservation forms is to publish the NMCB 62 Newsletter #2 to all the paid alumni group members and also to all the NMCB 62 veterans whose email addresses I have right now. If you DIDN'T get the NMCB 62 newsletter #1, you aren't going to get Newsletter #2 unless you send me your email address
