HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — Former crewmembers from the USS John Marshall are rekindling friendships and starting new ones after a weekend meeting in West Virginia.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- Robert Adler and Dave Gofourth have a lot in common -- they both like horses, guns and conservative values -- and they were both crewmembers on submarine USS John Marshall in the 1970s.

HUNTINGTON -- Eight former submariners from as far away as Michigan, Maryland and Florida came to Marshall University Saturday to see a part of their history and renew acquaintances with former shipmates they haven't seen in 40 years or more.

The USSVI convention is a six-day event from Monday 8/30 through Saturday 9/4.  Some of the convention planned events are scheduled earlier in the week. The length of time you want to attend is at your discretion.

   To register to attend the event you must register with the USSVI AND with the Rosen Creek Hotel.  The USSVI link to perform both of these activities is here.

·         Hospitality suite – at this time I am not sure if we will have our own 611 hospitality suite, or if we share the larger convention suite.

 Clearly there are more details to be ironed out.  Call, text or email me if you have any questions or suggestions. Updates will follow.
