2012 Tolling the Boats Ceremony, 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).

Remember to just click on a picture to see a larger version of it.

Thanks again to all those who organized and helped put on the Tolling the Boats Ceremony and to those who showed up to share lunch and remember our fallen shipmates. If you have photos from the Tolling that you would like to share, you can email them to me and I’ll post them to the blog.
