Mercer, Pennsylvania
The 40th reunion for the sailors who served aboard the USS Des Moines, CA-134. The last of the Navy's heavy crusiers. Paul Overley started the reunion on his farm in 1975 and sad to say that Paul passed away just before this reunion. Jerry volunteered to be the Web Master for the Reunion Association and is slowly rebuilding the web site: www.ussdesmoines.com.
This was only the 2nd time Jerry was able to attend the reunion because it is normally held the same day as the Lacey / Hartman reunion; this year it was held the 2nd Sunday of August.
