I think CA would be more fun....We did live there 4 years at least...Now our next step how are we going to get a hold of everyone?..that is after we all decide a date time and place...This is all new to me im not sure how to go about it...

That sounds good to me. I hadn't thought about Seattle. Great suggestion!!! 2009 sounds good too!!

Sounds Great to me!!! It's been too long already.
i think 2009 would give everyone time to plan for this. WAS IN M- Div 1981-84

Sandy is that you from early Mckee? If so have you heard from Alice or any of the others?

I would be happy to help on a plankowner reunion committee. San Diego or Seattle would be a good place.

WELL I THINK WE'D BE BETTER OFF DOING FOR 2009. GIVE EVERYONE MORE TIME TO PLAN....WHATS EVERYONES THOUGHT?

LIL RED

Are we looking for late this year or in 2009? I think if we get that straightened out we will have a place to start. I do not know how many people will be able to come. I hope for alot. I would like to see alot of old friends.

WELL IM POSTING NOTICE ON SITES. IF WE COULD GET MORE INPUT WHERE...I THOUGHT SAN DIEGO...LAS VEGAS.....SUMMER WOULD BE GOOD. I HAVE KIDS SO I DON'T WANT TO WORRY ABOUT SCHOOL....EASIER TO PLAN THINGS WHILE SCHOOOL IS OUT.....

Well someone is going to have to be the planner. We are really busy, but can help a little. Anyone with planning experience, out there want to tackle this?!?!?

Being a plankowner I am thrilled with the idea of having a reunion. I am good time wise any time of year other than the week following the 4th of July.

I have been waiting a long time for a chance to have a reunion. I would love to help get it started.

WELL I WENT TO CLASSMATES.COM, MILITARY.COM AND POSTED NOTICE ABOUT REUNION TELLING EVERYONE TO GO THE THIS WEB PAGE..HOPEFULLY MORE PEOPLE WILL HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY.

THANKS
LIL RED

LETS DO IT!!! SAN DIEGO WOULD BE PERFECT SINCE THAT WAS OUR HOME. SHERRY'S IDEA IS GOOD THRUSDAY THRU SUNDAY.....IM SO READY TO SEE PLANKWONERS AGAIN...

I was a patternmaker (PM3) aboard the McKee from 1987-1989. Please update me on where the reunion is expected to be held, and when. I didn't find this information on the site...older, and worse eyesight....
I have recently been in touch with another crewmember from my era, who is in constant touch with another. Maybe I can help network the information, or at least get the website out there.

I am fully game for this. As a plankowner it would be awsome to see some old faces again. The arrive Thursday and leave Sunday idea is great. Any time of year is great however the summer months would be awsome as it is 120 degrees here in Phoenix.

sounds like a great idea...its been 23 yeras(yikes)since ive seen any shipmates..i dont know about you but i still look young,lol...san diego sounds great,especially if its during the winter months

Okay ladies and gentlemen. At one time or another a good portion of you plankowners have talked about a reunion. Now is your chance to start voicing your ideas, such as:
Location?
Time of year?
How many days?

Knock, Knock, HELLO!!!!!!

Let's rock and roll!!! We aren't getting any younger!

my thoughts, September, October maybe. San Diego maybe, everyone arrive Thursday, leave on Sunday?

Any other ideas???

Welcome to the first posting in the "Discuss Planning For A future USS Mckee AS-41 Reunion" Message Board.

I have had this web site up for a couple of years now in the hopes of generating some interest in a reunion. To date only a couple of people have contacted me.

Therefore, I am taking another step. Actually, I will be taking several steps toward this. This discussion board is only the first. I hope to add more resources to this web site in the future in hopes of generating more interest.

Now for the purpose of this Message Board. I need those of you who are interested to start posting questions, suggestions, tips etc. about where, when, and how we should have a reunion. Let's get started! Any valid comments will be appreciated.
