Reunion
Chairman
Kudos to Sid Brown for all his hard work and a job well done.
He negotiated an outstanding reunion package at the 5 star Hilton
Riverfront Hotel with its wonderful location and views. Now it's
up to all of us to spread the word to other Shipmates and enjoy
the fruits of his labor. Our 1st reunion was a blast, ask anyone
who attended. Don't miss out on this one, it will prove to be
as memorable and exciting a reunion as ever was attended.

We
need your support and request a voluntary dues contribution:
As we did in the past, we are asking each Shipmate to contribute
$15 (or what you can spare) to cover the operating expenses of
the USS Perry Association. If you intend to be at the reunion,
we ask that you contribute an additional $15 (total of $30) for
expenses toward the hospitality room. Any necessary adjustments
will be made at, or after, the reunion.
Please
make checks payable to the: USS Perry Reunion
Association and mail your contribution to
Joe Malmendier
P.O. Box 606
Boiling Springs, PA 17007
717-258-9695
- Fax (717)258-9497 - e-mail: joemal@epix.net We would like to hear from all Shipmates, even
if you are unable to make a contribution at this time. |

Find
a Shipmate
It is important we identify and contact more Shipmates. You
can help by sending the names and addresses to ussperry@usa.com
or phone/fax 209-396-4386. We want to log all shipmates in for
future communications. You can also send names with hometowns
if you remember any. We may be able to find some Shipmates with
that information. Thanks for your help! We are looking forward
to seeing everyone at our reunion. If you can't make this one,
maybe we'll see you at the next USS Perry (DD-844) Reunion. |
