ReunionsREUNIONs: "...I'm a former Naval Aviator and Vietnam Veteran recently retired from USAir. I was on USS Hancock's last cruise and flew the Constellation with VW-1, VQ-1 and VAQ-33. A lot of guys have asked for this - On November 10th, 2003, I'm sponsoring a 5 night all hands Naval Aviation Cruise out of Tampa on the Carnival "Sensation". It's open to anyone who would like to go and Carnival Cruise Lines gave us a great rate if we have enough participation. We can observe and celebrate Veterans Day with our families, friends and fellow Shipmates from the past. It will be a lot of fun for mini Reunions or just a relaxing few days for any individual. (And you'll never know who'll be there!) My website is http://www.DonnyMartinTravel.com or email me with questions. Also, my phone is 704-583-1862. Let your former Shipmates know and let me know if you'd like the special pricing emailed to you. Thanks for your military service and God Bless You, Donny Martin donnymartin@yahoo.com..."
