SAVE THE DATE

August 11, 2007

Usually we meet at my house, go to Wilmington Blue Rocks Baseball Game, then head to local establishment for evening festivities.

This year XO Murphy has committed to presiding over the ceremonies. The Warrant should be here also... flying in with the Blue Angels. Odds of seeing DCA Paul Basile 30%. Cheng is AWOL... I mean UA.

Please see pictures below from last years reunion.

1991 Photos from actual USS Clark FFG-11

Chief Persechino recently submitted these two pictures. They were taken circa 1991.

The first is of the Chief and SN Cooper. Chief says that Coop needs a @#$%ing haircut.

The second is of the E-2? division. The photo of E-2 Div. includes: Etheridge, Wilson, Curtis, Wolfe, Geary, Cooper, Cook, Zinsmiester, Persechino and YNC Smith The guy on the right is YNC Smith. ENC Persechino said that he just appeared whenever ever a camera appeared. If you know where YNC is, we would love to hear from him!

More from the reunion

This picture was sent in by John Lee. Left to right, Dorsey, Corr and Dozier.

Commander Hesse - Army training Sir!

Commander Hesse called muster in Kansas.... but nobody else showed up.



He said that Chris should have tapped his heels together to get there. He is learning to speak Arabic.

Mr. Corr will be present.

More from the day

Hoban reminds Dorsey that he told him that his time on the Clark would end.



Wayne showing some of his grey hair from the side is amazed at the size of the rock behind him. He is still complaining about the $9 in tolls that he had to pay to get to Wilmington.


QMC admits that he is now a model for those little wooden carvings of Captains.

Chris slams down shot #4 while the mysterious MS looks on.

More at the game

Wayne attempts to figure out who is driving him to the bar. Stebby is apparently not too worried.

Corr discussing the torpedoes and his luck with the ladies. Corr with who he thinks is with MS2 Molitor... who claims he was on the ship with him. "Jake, that ain't right. Would you smack that?"

At the ball game

John Lee sees the light and says that he may vote for Hillary Clinton.











Dozier, Lee and Dorsey model this years latest styles. Notice John Lee modeling the Navy's latest blackberry on his belt buckle.

The chiefs checking out Boston's prospects. ENC says... "hey that third baseman looks like Ens Z." QMC still can't figure out why they are called the Blue Rocks and doesn't understand why Mr. Celery only comes out when they score a run. www.bluerocks.com

...enjoying the reunion.

Man the Torpedoes

Mr. Corr says that he still thinks that it was safe to move the torpedoes without telling anyone.....

also says that he enjoyed 60 days in hack.... but still unsure if he should have left the ship, since the Captain never approved for him to leave.

He enjoys sitting by the daisy and picture of home sweet home. Notice that he is still wearing Navy Issue T-Shirt.

Close ups

John Lee shows that he hasn't aged a day since 1990. He also says that he will still not vote for a Democrat.
Commo hasn't aged either. He has impressed Allison Dorsey with his stories about driving the ship and destroying confidential documents when he didn't lose the code.
Stevens finally understands what these guys were trying to do. Says that it is easier drawing Snoopy than processing requisitions for the CIWS that doesn't work anyway.

Hoban reciting farewell speech

Pat repeats what he told the Captain at his hail and farewell.
Chuck McClure and Wayne Brasch reenact a moment in the wardroom when Ops told them what they would be doing the next day.

Brasch receiving instruction

Wayne finally understands why he didn't have 4.0 fitreps. He shouldn't wear white socks to inspection.

Heberly, Corr, Brasch and Lee listen to Chief Persechino tell about Cooper swimming in the water supply inside the ship.

I can't believe this

SK3 Stevens can't believe these guys were in charge, while Commo explains to ENC why he would drop his grease pencil for Mr. Basile to pick up on the mid-watch.

Dynamic Duo together again

Attorney Hoban and Attorney Heberly remember their days as Lt. Hoban and Lt. Heberly

2006 Mr. Corr arrives

....with clothes from shipmates and a suitcase from 1956. He tried to put it in the overhead on the airplane but they wouldn't let him.

In this picture he is wondering if the recruiting picture for women in the Navy would let them on ships.












Somebody else's overalls.
