Henry Clay Sailors!

Without trying to bore you, our reunion weekend flew by in a blur. We 
missed a few shipmates who were caught up in the catastrophic 
conditions in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama - we think that they 
are all safe - but on the whole, the turn out was outstanding - about 
150 people made it to KC!

There will be much more reporting on this by others in the near future. 
However, John and I have some leftovers to deal with at this point in 
time. John has hats and T-shirts left, many sizes, all for $15.00 per 
item, the difference between cost including shipping will be moved to 
the HC Reunion Fund. Contact John for those things. I have some coins 
left over. If you want one, or more, they will be sold for $15.00 per 
coin, plus shipping, and again, all overages will go to the HC Reunion 
Fund. They will go out on a first come first served basis.

The Henry Clay contingent voted to meet again in 2-3 years - somewhere. 
So expect to hear more about the next one sometime in the near future. 
I can't tell you how good it was to see all of the guys (there were 38 
plankowners there!) even the ones that were on board a long time after 
I had left the boat in 1966! Keep in touch with each other, it sure was 
reinforced this weekend how important it is to do that.

Hello from Kentucky!!

I just happened to be doing some research for something and came across your
web site. I feel bad.  I didn't even realize there was a USS Henry Clay!!!

It's ironic, I live in Lexington and work for a local tour and motor coach
company. We have had several military groups hold their reunions in
Lexington and I always enjoy the groups. I saw where you were considering
having a reunion here in Lexington, which by the way was the home of Henry Clay.
Just thought I would extend an invitation for your group to come to
Lexington. We would love to have you here in 2008 or sooner!

Take Care & God Bless!
