THE 2024 ANNAPOLIS REUNION - IS COMPLETE
This is a short sample of photos -  more to come as they come in.

    The 2024 reunion in Annapolis, MD ran from June 10-13, 2024. We do believe everyone attending had a great time. Our stay was at the DoubleTree by Hilton and was a fine choice. Ease of access and nice facilities. There were multiple highlights, with the main two on Wed. June 12. This included a visit to the Naval Academy and our Memorial Service at the grave site of Hugh Purvis. Both highlights were enhanced by the attendance of 3 generations of the Hugh Purvis family. Hugh Purvis's Great Grandson Terry and wife Beth also attended our annual dinner on Wed. evening.

    Below are some of the photos from the three days. For more, See the 2024 Annapolis Gallery link in the left column (Under construction).
