Been off the blog for a few days as we were having our annual RNPA reunion in Hartford CT. This was a GREAT reunion, even though it was smaller than those in the past. It was held at the Marriott Convention Center Hotel in the middle of downtown Hartford. The hotel is only a few years old, so it was very nice. Our accomadations were more than ample for our group. The first day was Check-In followed by a social gathering that night. The second day was our tour day. We boarded busses and headed to New London to visit the U.S. Coast Guard Academy, then to Mystic Village for lunch and to the Nautilus Submarine Museum. All three venues were very interesting. On Saturday we had our general meeting, with election of Officers for the coming two years. I was re-elected President, so will continue having that duty. Saturday evening was our banquet. The scholarship receipents were announced and monies raised for the fund.
