Change of location for 2011 reunion
Greetings Altair Crew. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Here is info from Joe Basso. The upcoming reunion site has been changed to Baltimore, MD from Tampa, FL. The main reason for changing is there is a fairly good POSSIBILITY of a WHITE HOUSE TOUR! If this comes to fruition, the tour attendees will be required to supply names and SS numbers to the Military Planning Group. YOU WILL ONLY HAVE UNTIL FEB. 21ST. TO APPLY FOR THE TOUR. You will not be able to sit on this info and apply at the last minute.
This would be a true once in a lifetime opportunity for a White House tour.
Obviously, this email is only a "heads up" notification. More info will follow as soon as available.

Shipmate Passing and request for information
I am the daughter of one of your fellow shipmates, Jimmy Norton. He was also in the service with his brother Wayne, if that helps ring a bell. He just passed away December 29 and I'm trying to make a scrapbook for my daughters. I want them to have as many stories of their grandfather as possible since they won't remember him. I had taken some notes about the few stories he could remember but I've lost the paper. He mostly talked about being friends with Pizzo, who I saw has passed away as well. Does anyone remember him or have any information you could share with me? It would make my year as I miss him so much and these stories help me to feel closer to him. I have some pictures from his tours but I do not know who the other people are with my dad. Is there somewhere I can post them to possibly get an answer?
Thanks,
