Howdy Classmates:
Barbara and I are signing up for the Oceania cruise to the Greek Islands, August 19 to September 1, 2008. I think anytime a Class Agent goes on a cruise, we can make it a Mini-Reunion Cruise, whether the others can make it or not.
I thought about an Alaska cruise in July, 2008, but so many in the class have done that. The Oceania has great ships (smaller than most cruise vessels) and the service/accommodations are great. I will get The Traveling Aggies and The Association to mail out flyers and e-mail classmates to give them a "heads up" on this.
I suggest we make another Class of '55 Mini-Reunion Cruise to the Panama Canal in January 2009. It is on an Oceania vessel, as well, and should be a great trip. If you have additional thoughts about 2009, let me know.
Best,
Mike Trotter
