Enthusiasm is running high for the 2006 reunion!
Crew members, families and friends look forward to each others' company, and the 2006 reunion will be better than ever!
Crewman Johnny Kunsak, reunion chairman, has some surprises up his sleeve and this is guaranteed to be one of the “best ever” reunions. He has been conducting secret negotiations with his “Show Girl” committee. The reunion site is in the heart of “Strip,” with many special attractions nearby, from the Eiffel Tower Experience to the Shark Reef and Star Trek.
Although only about 15 original crewmen have been attending, there have been 50 or more (family and friends) joining in for the fun. Our attendees include members of the family of Lieutenant Rall, for whom the ship was named, as well as families and friends of present and former crewmen -- some of whom were killed at Okinawa.
