Day 14

Our last day with the old squadron.
Most everyone used the morning and early afternoon to do some site seeing.
Cheryl and I chose Beale St.
When I was stationed here in 1966, A Beale Street was off limits. 

Beale Street is now a collection of Blues Bars cafe's and gift stores.  It was probably a wild place in 1966 but you'd never know it now.
Highlight of the trip was the sidewalk fair and antique auto show at the end of the street.

A real Schwab's drug store.  Lots of neat antiques.

Hard to read.  This belongs to Jerry Lee Lewis

Not really an alley.  More like a 6X8 space between buildings.
Oh, no one was home!

At the top of Beale Street.  Sign on the door said everyone musts be off Beale Street by 3:00 AM.

Back to the hotel for a little "old folks" rock n roll, some food and pictures.  

Good bye's were said and tentative plans were made for another reunion in two years.

NOTE: Plans have changed somewhat.

This is my first reunion with HMM-161 but I don't plan on it being the last.  Great time, great food and great people.  Who could ask for more?

Ron and his wife Jennifer.
Thank you!
