No we no longer go
to the reunion!

I wrote about this
some time ago on my Goose Blog?
(Fool me once, shame
on you)!
2010
For years I have
ignored questions as to why we stopped going to my ship reunion.
Now that it seems to
have ended I will tell you Mr., Mrs. or Miss Anonymous.
Soon after we met,
she talked me into giving my ship reunion another try.
That year,
everything seemed to fall into place with the honeymoon trip that we were on.
The base was flying
ever thing it had (she was in heaven); shipmates were, for the most part,
friendly.
The Motel room was
good, the pool, outdoor to indoor was great, food was also great and we were
able to spent most of the time with me getting use to the changes from the
1960’s to the 2000’s and her getting to see the area for the first time.
At the dinner/dance
we ran into our first problem.
Elvis came out
singing, took one look at the prettiest lady at the dance (my and Elvis
opinion), embarrass her and turn the room filled with Elvis loving women
hostile!
The next morning two
of the ‘racist shipmates’ interrupted our breakfast so we left!
(Fool me twice,
shame on me)!
The following year
we decided to give it another try,
our mistake!
Motel was extremely
over priced, the motel room was a disgrace, the food was garbage and a few more
racists showed their true colors (Old and White).
The pool that was
the prize of the first trip was empty and ugly!
Any Questions?
