Farewell Banquet

Sid Brown's show

Dick Pittinger's show

Bill Janulin's show

A highlight of the Farewell Banquet was our acknowledgements and awards to all
Perry shipmates for services rendered beyond the 'call of duty'. As we concluded
our program, I was asked by Bob Hales to remain on deck for a moment. I was in
total shock and without words when Bob then presented me the beautiful replica model
of the pre-fram USS Perry DD-844. What a gift!!!  I will forever cherish this beautiful
memento and promise to share it with my shipmates for years to come.  
Thank you one and all
Steve Silk
