PLEASE REPLACE EXISTING NOTICE WITH THE FOLLOWING:
The 50th anniversary of the historic voyage by the U. S. Coast Guard Cutters STORIS, BRAMBLE and SPAR, circumnavigating the North American continent from west to east for the first time, during the summer of 1957, will be remembered and celebrated by a reunion to be held as follows:
When: September 4 thru 6, 2007
Where: Harrah?s Hotel and Casino,
Reno, Nevada
This is the long anticipated combination of a reunion with the 50th anniversary of ?Cutters Around the Continent?. September 6th is the exact anniversary date of the three vessels passing through Bellot Strait and starting the trip home following their history-making voyage.
PLEASE NOTE that any crewmember (and his/her guests) who served in STORIS, BRAMBLE or SPAR at any time are invited to attend.
Plans are that the Coast Guard band and drill team will be present during the reunion and, if at all possible, Admiral Thad Allen, Commandant of the Coast Guard, will be present with us on September 6th.
Harrah?s Hotel and Casino is located in the center of town with easy airport access and plenty of parking is available. Information regarding hotel rates, reservations, registration, etc. will be posted on our website (http://www.storisbramblespar.org) shortly after the first of the year. At the same time, the information will be mailed to those individuals who request it and who do not have computer access.
