USS BANG - SS 385
Sentry of the Seas
Old acquaintances have been renewed and new friendships have been made. Goodbyes have been said and alas our 71st anniversary reunion is history. And what a reunion it was! Domenic and Virginia Iammarino put on an outstanding reunion in Cleveland, OH. On our private tour of the USS Cod we had excellent guides who lit off number three main engine and showed us the most complete and well stocked WWII submarine memorial in the US! Cleveland would not have been complete without a visit to the nearby Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And, to be sure "The Gang" saw it all. Your shipmates enjoyed a terrific family style dinner at Primo Vino, an authentic Italian restaurant in the "Little Italy" section of Cleveland that night. A visit to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the National First Ladies Library in the home of President William McKinley topped off our touring schedule. The final night banquet concluded with excellent entertainment by Elvis impersonator Ronnie Navarra. The hotel was anxious to please and offered a great base of operations. Thanks to Domenic and Virginia Iammarino a good time was had by all! If you missed this one we hope to see you at the Michigan reunion next year!
