I didn't make the last cruise but I did Email the Houston Chronicle. I didn't get a reply yet but Mr. Shuit, you're probably right. Like myself I just came aware of the Association a few months ago and believe a great many do not know of this association.
I just happened to stumble across it through Military.Com. Does anyone know if a roster of Past Crewmwmbers and their last known address could be made available to the current Assoc. Members so maybe we can make an effort to find and possibly recruit these folks. Also make them aware of the decommissioning.
