NOW HEAR THIS! After much discussion and several good suggested sites, the location of the 2010 reunion is - Charleston, SC! Our host is Tom Yingling MT (64-71 Gold). Let's plan on all being there for what I bet will be another memorable Calhoun reunion. More to come, standby.

Our condolences for a shipmate recently reporting for Eternal Patrol.

Keith A. Wright Sr. MM 76-78 departed 15 July, 2008. He will be greatly missed by family and friends.

We received this input from Jimmie Lovins who got the opportunity to visit the JCC one day:

"I got to go aboard in 1964 when we were operating with her (JCC). I was on the USS Myles C Fox (DD-829), while in Florida. Some or our crew got to go out for the day on the Calhoun. It was great - I'll never forget it! BMSN Jimmie Lovins, USS Myles C. Fox (DD-829) mylescfox63@aol.com

ATTENTION Shipmates! Did you know that our ship's sponsor, Rosalie Calhoun, attends all of our reunions? Rosalie is the great - great grandaughter of John C. Calhoun and she christened the boat when she was 14 years old! We're thankful for Rosalie's support and she brings a lot of life to our Association and reunions!
