Updated reunion attendance list So far over 66 shipmates and shipmate’s mates have indicated they will be attending the reunion. This looks like it’s going to be a good one. News page Holland Club infoMy wife Carol is thinking some of the women would rather go off on their own shopping, knitting or socializing without the ancient mariners for a day. If you are a friend of or spouse of the old souse and have an interest on spending the day in the company other beautiful women instead of hearing the same old sea tales (outright lies) as told by the same old blowhards please send a note to Carol at CCalvert543@aol.com Mark the heading sub-reunion.
