USS Pogy Reunion Update From Jack Burdick, Reunion Organizer

Posted by on February 2, 2009

September 10th and 11th 2009

It is hard to believe, but the calendar shows January 2009. What this means to us is that the USS Pogy reunion is just about seven months from now! I would like to thank those who have been sending me information on former shipmates. It has been very helpful in the development of the email list. Please keep the information coming. You will notice that the information in the newsletters have a lot of redundant information. I apologize for that but we continue to add new names to the database and we want to ensure everyone is kept informed.

USS Pogy SSN 647 Patch Before I review the Reunion schedule and accommodation details, a few of notes:

1.  I mentioned in earlier letters that the Reunion would be held at the same time as the US Submarine Veterans annual convention, which runs from Sept.7 through Sept.12. Registration for the convention is $25.00 and will make you eligible to participate in various events including both Base and City tours. All the information is provided on the convention website USSVI – San Diego Convention 2009.

2. We have made arraignments for a photographer to take pictures before the banquet on Friday. She takes digital photos of individuals or groups at no cost, and has portraits of various sizes available for purchase after the banquet.

I will be updating you again soon with additional information including the cost of the Reunion. In the meantime please continue to send me contact information on former Pogy sailors. I would also appreciate any ideas you have for the reunion, including fund raising opportunities to help keep the cost down. You can contact me at 208-340-8861 or jackburdick@cableone.net.
Sincerely,
Jack Burdick
