AIMS

1. To take pride in our training and the contribution we made to our Navy in World War II, and subsequently;
2. To continue the camaraderie fostered over the thirty years since reunions of our association began;
3. To encourage navy-minded youth in their development and education;
4. To support the Navy League of Canada;
5. To remember those who have "crossed over the bar".

After a wonderful 17th reunion in Kelowna, we all give a great vote of thanks to Reg Summers-Gill (Calgary B) and Bea, George Doig (Calgary A) and Peggy, for organizing a truly wonderful reunion. How can we ever forget the accommodations at the Coast Capri, the sightseeing trip, including the visit to the Summerland Pyramid Winery and the STEAM driven Kettle Valley Railway, the wonderful reception at the Summerland Legion, the hospitality room, and our speaker at the dinner, Mike Roberts.

A pleasant surprise was Howard Grittani (Galt #7) volunteering to host the 18th Art Apps Reunion in Toronto in September 2006, only a year away. This will be the third reunion organized by "Gritt", and judging by his past success, it promises to be a great one. Will this be the last?
