The central event of the reunion will be a cocktail dinner party on the flight deck of the USS MIDWAY Maritime Museum on Saturday evening, July 16th. Yes, the same carrier we cruised upon our second class summer and now the most visited maritime museum in the world. Attire for this will be elegant casual. For all other functions, the attire will be casual. The weather is generally clear, low 70’s daytime; mid 60’s in the evening.

Other planned activities will be promulgated in the months to come. By popular requests, ample time will be allocated for company get-togethers. San Diego has virtually unlimited attractions, some of which may be displayed or linked to: www.san-diego.us

Unfortunately we are losing classmates at an ever increasing rate and this may be one of the last few remaining opportunities for a large number of us to get together. We of the Reunion Committee urge everyone to contact their USNA roommates and friends in the class, promulgate this information and urge their attendance to 54’s 57th Reunion 2011 San Diego.
