  Today is the deadline for registration for the Reunion, and a few people have been asking if it's too late to register. It's not too late!
  
  Just go to http://www.samuelgompersreunion/ and print out the two forms you need. You will see on the registration form there is a late fee of $30. until end of August...I put that ...there because I really need a good head count before I order the Gompers schwag and pay the tour company next week.
  
  I will waive the extra five dollar fee for everybody who gets their registration forms in by Friday August 6...those who wait longer to register will pay $30.00 instead of $25.00

  Hey Robert,
  
  Let me first say that I'm glad that you joined this site...the names and information is priceless.
  
  You bring back the early 1970's in such memoriable fashion, with such cool-ass sailors as Steve-bo; who was married and lived off base, where I used to hang out and cop my trees from...the boys couldn't hang out there too long because of the Misses. I forgot about Battle Larry, and Artis; I am so impressed by that brain of yours!
  
  A few things; one, are you still living in Cincinnati? Secondly, I sent you an e-mail in your "inbox" on this site. I prefer that you use my "yahoo" for personal dialog and we can use this site for the rest of the naval crew when we take a stroll down memory lane, so I need your personal e-mail address because I want to sent you some picture.
  
  Speaking of picture, I appreciate you adding a photo, but I want to send you plus you send me a photo of our navy days. We are both older now...in our fifties...wow...and our present photos doesn't give us justice when we were thirty-one or two years younger. My memory is not as sharp as yours...sorry:-( Next time I talk to my family, I want to make sure I represent you in the most proper and respectful way; so shoot me a naval pic to my yahoo account and I will do the same for you.
  
  Anyway Robert, you have made my month...no...year! I'm looking forward in continuing this wonderful conversation...oh, by the way, I see JB periodically, we hang out and talk; I told him to sign up on this site but he says that most the members was on Sammy way after he got off, and couldn't relate to his time...well, maybe he might reconsider this point of view after reading some of your comments...thanks for the thoughts! Let's keep in touch.
