WHO ATTENDEDThe following 49 members and spouses attended the 3rd Annual MCITTA Gathering in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. A great event— so say we all!
Some comments from the attending members: "…the gathering was great…. It was apparent that everybody had a good time. Felix Conde "…as a first gathering for me, …everything went fine…[I] enjoyed everything and had a good time…with that I send a big Oorah and the best to you and your helper on a job very well done." OJ Hickok "I thought that Halifax was wonderful…I enjoyed myself…all of my feelings can be summed up in one word--TATOO--. I have never before witnessed such a tremendous feeling of culture, art, and national/provincial pride that was the "TATOO". I will always remember that performance as the shining point of a wonderful reunion." Luke Thoma "The 2005 Marine Gathering was a complete success!! We enjoyed ourselves so very much and Halifax is such a beautiful city. I really do not know if it is possible to have a better gathering in the years to come." Jackie Anctil "…we think the Gathering was the best yet and don't envy those who try in Las Vegas for next year. Our heartfelt thanks to both you and Joan." Don James & Lynne Murphy "For mine and Lea's part, we couldn't of had a better time! You and Joan were superb hosts, and Nova Scotia was a delight… and the people couldn't have been more gracious. Thanks again for all your efforts.…" Chuck & Lea Chlarson "I can not begin to tell you how much we enjoyed the Gathering. The work that went into it was evident in so many ways, and in so many ways I am sure that it went unnoticed. However, having been associated with several similar events I fully understand the dedication and work involved. Good show my friend. Nova Scotia was perfect." Jim & Victoria Haskins "Jennie and I had a great time and really regretted having to leave early. I was very happy with the convention site and activities. It was worth paying…extra…for the hotel to have everything so convenient. We saved on cab and rental car fees. Halifax is a lovely city and the people are some of the friendliest I've met anywhere in the world. Especially liked the way they automatically divided up the bill at restaurants. Why is it so much of a chore for other countries to do the same?" Howard Young "Just a little note of thanks to show our appreciation for all you did at the Gathering. We had a wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting new friends." Howie and Mary Ann Kahn "I want you to know that Carol and I had the greatest time at the reunion. Again you out did them all, everything was just wonderful. "Carol and I thank you, as for our likes we would say the banquet was the best one of any I have been to. The Tattoo was just great as was the visit to the Citadel. You and Joan are to be commended for you great work. I do not think anybody will top it." Andy and Carol Belliveau "Let me say one more time how much I enjoyed our get together. You did a superb job… to make the gathering the success that it was." H. John Lopez "…It was a good event and Becky and I had a great time. See you next year in Vegas." Al Kent |
