Sad news to share with you the crew of the USS Blandy DD-943. On July 11, 2008 our shipmate Captain Peter A. Huchthausen, U.S. Navy (Ret.), author and historian, lately of Kennebunk and Frye Island, died at his B&B in Amfreville, France. He was 69. Peter authored the book "October Fury" which brought the story of our involvement in the Cuban Missile Crisis to the world.
We had a great time at Branson, MO Reunion 2008
Our attendance was down some from our previous reunions
and all I can say is those of you who chose not to attend missed out on another great one.
I will have photos posted soon.
Our next reunion is going to be a cruise reunion.
I will post the details as soon as we have it set up.
And you will probably receive a newsletter with the info.
