The 2004 USS Bergall Reunion in Saratoga Springs, NY !
Displays outside the hotel (click to enlarge)
The USS Bergall’s 2004 Reunion was held in Saratoga Springs, NY, in conjunction with the Annual USSVI Convention on September 15-19, 2004. We had a hospitality suite at the Prime Hotel, the Convention home base. Between a concert in the park, a wonderful parade and numerous other activities, the town really turned out to make all the sailors welcome. And the USSVI turned out more treats, dinners and freebies... our "Bergall girls" made several raiding runs on the convention information tables!
Our Glenn Hanson was our local coordinator and he
really pulled a hat-trick and made it a great time for all of us. He's got
an absolutely lovely town.
Wanna Play Golf with
fellow Bergall Golf Pros?
Dick Fiske, Pat Murphy and Tom Stratton were looking for a fourth or fifth or...
to golf on either the 15th, 16th, or 17th.
Those hackers were expected to take days to complete the front nine... On
Friday, Chuck Kennedy, Carl and Marge Weber were going to show these guys how
it's done. If you can't hit the ball don't worry... neither can they...
well, Chuck and Carl ain't bad... but they all sure had fun threatening the darned thing and the squirrels, birds and
fellow golfers and...!
"We hope you will join us for another year's reunion of sea stories from the ‘40s, 50s, 60s, ‘70s, '80s and '90s and honest to God truths that wives just don’t seem to believe." Don Basham, President-Bergall Association.
With a balcony attached to the hospitality suite, the weather was determined to
be nice for us.
Before anybody could do any serious damage, I grabbed these shots of the suite.
Here's a listing of the "crew" that gathered and were held away from the
general population... by popular demand:
