These images are from the Sampson WW-2 Navy Veterans 2003 reunion Sept 9, 10, and 11th.

It was held at Sampson State Park.

 

The 2004 Reunion was held September 7-8-9.

 

Despite what one of the guys tried to sell me, there were NO US NAVY SUBMARINES in Lake Seneca.  

They couldn't make the turntables at both ends of the lake work, so the subs couldn't turn around?   

(my theory on why not...)

Sorry, but I didn't bite on that one...

There was however a Japanese 2 man sub... 

...but that's another story,  it arrived on the back of a trailer...

 

Any one wishing information on the organization contact me and I will pass the information on:
