2005 REUNION CEREMONY DVD PRODUCED AND AVAILABLE
Message, Received from Leon Paquette's Son, was just received by Phil Dilloway and forwarded to Me, Your Webmaster, and I felt that it was only fitting and appropriate to post it here for all to read. Consider purchasing the DVD, it is $42.50 (includes shipping and handling) and is a moving contribution to our ship and the shipmates who served aboard her!
----- Original Message -----
I just wanted you to know how much the DVD meant to me. It was very hard for me to watch as I knew my Dad wanted to be there and couldn't. I had hoped we could go to this years reunion as we did for the 20th and now it just won't happen. I will tell you that my wife Barbara and I talked about it and we may try to come to this years reunion and see all of the shipmates as she has always wanted to go and see Chicago. We will discuss it more in the future and see what we can do. I just wanted to be sure I said Thank You not only for the certificate but the DVD too. I printed the certificate on really nice photo paper and framed it and gave it to my Mom. All of the shipmates meant a lot to both my parents. God Bless all of you and we hope to be able to see you in September. Please pass on to all of the shipmates our deepest appreciation not only for their support during this rough bit of seas but for their highly regarded friendship. Please keep in touch,

Robert Cressman, Head of that branch was quite anxious to receive a copy and I am pleased at the reception I got when I spoke to him. It is probably one of the first artifacts of its kind in their possession.

ASSOCIATION FOUNDER PASSED OVER THE BAR 4/2/06
Here is one of our old shipmates wearing the newly reproduced patch on a blue or black hat! Looks Great!! Bet You Can't Guess Who This Is!
One of the founders of the Robert L. Wilson Association crossed over the bar late this afternoon. Chief Leon Paquette died of an aneurism.
Leon was at his volunteer job at the Norfolk Naval Base where he worked on Monday's helping other retirees with various benefit programs.
Leon, became a charter member or plank owner when he with the help of Ryland Garris started the Robert L. Wilson Association twenty-five years ago. He will be missed by us all. v/r Phil Dilloway
