Welcome to the web site of the USS Pawcatuck AO-108.

Hello once again from sunny Arizona. To those who did not attend our reunion this year in Chattanooga, Tn. from the 9th to the 12h of May. Once again we had a great time. Our ladies once again did a lot of work and with a lot of help from those who brought items and they raised over $1000.00 for our scholorship fund. My thanks to the ladies.

The tours went well and saw some interesting places.

I would like to thank my asst. coordinator Paul Houston for doing a great job and of course he took over for Mark McPherson who stepped down due to work requirements. Mike Culbertson conducted the Memorial Service. He did a great job. To all the shipmates who are on the committee thanks for your help while at the reunion.

At our annual meeting those that came voted to go to Philadelphia, Pa. for 2013. We also have the city for 2012 and the reunion will be in Pawcatuck, Ct. The dates are the the 8th to the 11th of May and will be held in Norwwich, Ct. at the Holiday Inn Hotel. The reason for this city is if you read the last update on this site it was mentioned that a memorial stone and plaques had been placed in a park in Pawcatuck, Ct. The memorial has not been dedicated so the people back there agreed to wait and dedicate the memorial and we inturn would have our reunion there. The reason is that the ship was commissioned on the 10th of May 1946.

WE would like to see all family members and former shipmates come to our 20th reunion. I challange all former shipmates to come next year and we are hoping to by pass the total of a 100 that we had in Norfolk, Va. back in 2005

Once again please come to our reunions as we miss many of you that have come other times and then we do not see you. Remember all shipmates and family members our part of the Pawcatuck Family. See you in Norwich, Ct.
Yours
