THE FIRST EVER USS TIDEWATER REUNION
was at
Charleston, SC Town & Country Inn and Conference Center
October 21-24, 2004

The 2004 reunion is now over, but the memory lingers on. If you missed it, you missed something special. We hope you'll make the next one in 2006. It will be in St. Augustine, FL.

Spirit of AD31's Reunion 2004

A couple of photos that may amaze you, but for sure will tell you that Tidewater reunions are meant to happen. We call this the Spirit of AD31's Reunion 2004.

Overview

This is what we did and where we went.

Momentos

There were six 8-foot long tables end to end with barely enough room to hold them all.

Friday Night

The Association provided an open bar with beer and wine and the hotel set out a terrific buffet for us. What a spread.

Saturday Tour

The tour took us around Charleston where we saw the historical sites that we'd heard so much about. It lasted about 5 hours with a tour guide showing us the highlights along the way.

The photos above of the Saturday Tour and Friday Night Buffet were taken by Bill Cook, our webmaster. If you'd like to send us some more (as Terry Braga has done), please do so and we'll post them here.

Who was there

With a crew that spanned the mid-Forties through the early Seventies, the possibilities were endless!

Tell us what we did wrong and what we did right

Here's an online feedback form that we'd like you to fill out and send to us. We'd like to know what you thought of the reunion, and, with your help, we hope we can make the next one even better.

There was local coverage in the Charleston Post & Courier thanks to the brilliant efforts of Reunion Chairman Bob Hall.
