2011 Tolling of the Boats Ceremony Recap - Part 2

This blog entry has pictures from the pre-ceremony picnic and social time. We tried to get at least one picture of everyone, but we did miss a few people (or the pictures just didn't turn out).

We'll start off with some of the people who helped make the whole event run smoothly and then move on to the other attendees. Remember to just click on a picture to see a larger version of it.

Thanks to all the ladies who helped out with the food and making sure the WWII submarine veterans were escorted to their seats.

  1. Awesome photos, Lynn. You and Dave are a real asset to Seattle Base and USSVI. Kudos to you both. John Mansfield, USSVI WRD4 Commander.
