I received a message overnight from our Pacific Northwest host, Don Gentry, and he is going to help arrange a large scale welcoming party for us which will include a stop in Yakima, Washington to meet with Doug Dahlke. Doug is a Submarine Veteran and member of SSMC who lost a leg, among other injuries, while riding his motorcycle. Doug has invited us to have dinner at the Legion Hall along with members of the Yakima Base USSVI and a contingent from SSMC (Silent Service Motorcycle Club). This could turn into a giant reunion and sea story swapping event. If we stay on schedule it could take place on Saturday, July 10th. We'll have to firm that up in the next few months, but for now put it on your itinerary that there will be a stop in Yakima for a dinner and party.
Thanks to Don Gentry for taking the lead on this.
