Reunion Excursion

After breakfast about 20 people boarded a bus, provided by UR, and headed to Quantico for a visit to The National Museum of the Marine Corps. They were met there by an additional 15 or so from the local area so had driven themselves. A couple of alumni brought their children who were curious about the museum . . . and maybe a little curious about Dad's friends.

Three members of the Class of 1974 and their wives rendezvoused at the Marine Corps Museum. They represented the farthest reach of the span of this Cross Class Reunion. I regret that we didn't get a picture of them at the museum, since that was the only reunion event they attended. I appreciated the efforts they went to in order to gather their classmates.

Although it felt like we had just eaten, a light lunch was available on the Overlook. Torn between socializing and touring the museum, people finally drifted off to the exhibits. Later in the day someone commented that originally they couldn't imagine needing 3 hours to see the museum. But at the end of the day, they wished they'd had more time.

This is a phenomenal museum. If you have never been, try to get there. When all the reunion bills are paid, if there is any money remaining, a donation will be made to the National Museum of the Marine Corps.
