14th Annual Reunion Report
2003- Cincinnati, Ohio
September 25th thru the 28th
The 2003 reunion was held in
Fort Mitchell Kentucky and was hosted by Ed O’Brien RD2 57-60 and
his wife Kate. There were a total of 118 people who attended the
Reunion. Fifty-two were shipmates and 66 were family and
friends.
On Friday they took a bus trip
to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio. The Museum
had aircraft from the beginning of flight to our present day
fighters, bombers, spacecraft, vintage clothing and armament,
movies, and special displays featuring well-known servicemen.
Friday evening they were treated
to a riverboat cruise up the Ohio River and enjoyed the city
lights of Cincinnati. During the cruise up and down the Ohio
River they were entertained by a female singer and one-man band.
He played various musical instruments and played and sang all
kinds of music – songs both old and new. There was dancing and a
great Italian buffet dinner.
Saturday morning the shipmates
attended the annual business meeting (details will be in the next
newsletter).
Saturday evening the Reunion Banquet was held in the main hotel
dining room where they were served either Roast Beef or Chicken.
In attendance there were six (6) original Plank owners. There
were 12 members from the around the World Cruise and seven (7)
Shipmates who were attending a USS Haynsworth Reunion for the
first time. The posting of the colors was done by the Sea Cadets
(Cincinnati branch) and the Special Honored Guest was Bob Adams
50-52 from Greensboro North Carolina, who was the bandleader of
the much heralded “Can with a Band”. He entertained them with the
history of how the Band came about, as well as the
experiences during its existence. Bob also performed a solo
clarinet rendition of Moonlight Serenade and played and sang
several other songs.
The lucky winner of the USS
Haynsworth clock was Roy Dowdy MM2 50-53.
Sunday morning’s farewell
breakfast closed the festivities.
Many thanks to Ed and Kate
O’Brien for hosting another “Successful Reunion”.
The
unofficial count of those in attendance was 114 with 52 of that
number consisting of shipmates.
