Dennis J. Buckley DD/DDR 808
Reunion October 24-27, 2002

DJB Shipmates renew old and make new friendships

Buckley crew members started arriving in Orange Texas early in the week with expectations of finding lost friendships and talking over old times. An unexpected bonus was the opportunity to find new friends who also shared the experience of serving aboard the Buckley; either as a DD or DDR. Shipmates from Plank Owners to those who were aboard when she was decommissioned and every year in between were in attendance. Sea stories were told and retold and Karl Stroh compiled many of the stories sent to him into a booklet that was distributed. You can read these stories by going to: DJB Sea Stories

There were several crew members who attended but were not available at the time individual pictures were taken. If you were one of those people and would like to have your picture posted here, please send your picture to George Estey with your rating and years served aboard the Buckley. George can be reached at: GWEstey@stny.rr.com or at: 38 Notrh Canal St., Greene, NY 13778.
