Barbara Welch

The following is an email from Barbara, niece of Roger Noon Currier. She hopes to come to the reunion and share memories and photos from her aunt and uncle of the USS Currier. "I am going to try and come. I have family in the area and will stay with them. As my uncle died on the USS Atlanta at Savo Island I just finished and cannot recommend enough “Neptune’s Inferno” by James D. Hornfischer, it covers the Guadalcanal battle in great details. Also, I was called re: info on my uncle because of an upcoming TV special that will cover a dive (by humans) on the Atlanta…it was done before but by robots. Roger Currier’s son is very home bound but would like to send on some photos also. On film, we have my aunt Betty swinging away with the champagne bottle at the dedication of the USS Currier. Thank you for your email and hope to meet you and you can have the pictures! Mother and Betty’s Dad was a professional photographer so you can imagine the treasure trove I have and hope they are not lost to history."

Larry Greenwood

Looking forward to seeing everyone at the reunion in Annapolis, MD on Sept. 18-20, 2012. I had a lovely phone call from Ed Weaver, who served on the seafaring tug, the USS Quapaw. He wanted to tell us that his lifetime friend from Nebraska, Larry Greenwood, had served on the USS Currier in the late 40's-early 50's. He extended his service after the Korean War. Sadly, Larry was killed in a car accident four years ago on Christmas Day. He is survived by his wife, Dixie.

2012 Reunion - Annapolis, Maryland

I am waiting for the contract from the hotel, but I wanted to give you the location and dates for the 2012 Reunion. The reunion will be held in Annapolis, Maryland on Sept. 18-21, 2012 (Tuesday through Friday).  Plans are underway for a military reunion tour at the US Naval Academy, tours of Annapolis by land and by sea, and our annual banquet. Annapolis is within easy driving distance from Baltimore and Washington, DC.

So mark your calendars, more information will be coming soon. Hope you can attend!

If you fly into Baltimore-Washington Airport (BWI), we can provide transportation to and from the hotel, so no rental car will be needed.

Sad News

I heard that Duane Colby recently passed away after his battle with cancer. Duane and Randa just hosted the wonderful 2011 Michigan reunion. How grateful that we were able to share that special time together! Our thoughts and prayers go out to Randa and the family.
