REUNION UPDATES April 25, 2005 Our schedule is about set. I will be sending out a snail mail letter on May 1st with a detailed schedule and other information. We have 52 Jallao sailors signed up plus their family and guests. We are rapidly approaching the size of the last reunion. A couple of reminders; If you bring any memorabilia items, please be sure to have your name and return address attached, we will have a lockable room to display all memorabilia. Next, there is a possibility that we may be able to tour a submarine, so be sure to have at least one(1) form of picture ID. Jerry Emerson March 10, 2005 Our schedule is filling in, we may get a boat tour, it is still too early to predict, but we are still working on it.

If any of our crewmembers wish to participate in the "tolling of the boats" let me know by E-mail or other means. After the service we are invited to lunch at the SubVets on School Street, not to far from the memorial. Lunch will be about $6. Now all that has to be filled in is Friday 20 May.

USS Jallao SS368 2005 Reunion update
Reunion Coordinator:
Had a very productive meeting on 29 Dec. 2004 with George Costantino, Luie Duran, Jim Adams. I met separately with Lenny Caruso and than with the Manager of the Radisson hotel. Things are coming together, At the registration desk we will have various sign up sheet to ask for volunteers to help with the hospitality room, squaring away the Adm Fife recreation area after the picnic. Will have a DJ at the banquet along with other events.
One item on the registration table will be a sign up sheet for crewmembers that want to relate, retell an old sea story about their experience on Jallao. I know that there are a lot of them out there, some true, some not so true. This will be during the banquet on Friday. We will not have a professional photographer for any of the events. so all you amateurs with the expensive equipment can have fun taking photos and videos and putting them on the Jallao web site so the rest of us can enjoy them. We will have a formal ceremony at the SubVets memorial, which the local chapter will conduct and than lunch at their club the lunch will be about $6. I encourage all crewmembers that are members of SubVets bring your vests for this event.
As of 10 January 2005 these are the crewmembers that I have paid registration for: JIM ADAMS, WILLIAM BAILEY, BRUCE BRADBURY, TOM BURKE, FRANK CONTI, JERRY EMERSON, AL FERDINANDSEN, JOHN MILLS, MARK GLAEDY, PAT WALSH, GEORGE COSTANTINO, JOHN HANNIFORD, ROBERT ZANG.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Next: USS Jallao SS 368 Reunion Reunion Co-coordinator: Jerry L. Emerson 25 June 2003 Hi to all my Jallao shipmates and friends, about one month has passed since our great first reunion in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. At the meeting of Jallao crew I volunteered to organize the next reunion and the majority indicated that I set the time and place for the second reunion. After talking with many of you during the winding down of the banquet and the next day, various e-mails to the webmaster, who forwarded them to me, the majority of you have indicated the next reunion should be in Groton Ct. I agree; therefore for advance planning purposes, the next reunion will be held in Groton/New London, Connecticut during the spring of 2005. I travel to the Groton area about once a year, still have many friends and relatives in the area. So far two shipmates have sent me info on the area and I thank them for the info. I will try to place something on the web site about every month. Earl Johnson has established a checking account at the First National Bank in Pontotoc, Mississippi. A little info on me, I retired in 1977 as a Chief Quartermaster. I served on six submarines and had a tour as instructor at the Sub Base, worked at Electric Boat on the Trident and 688 class boats. Moved to North Carolina in 1995 and am semi-retired. Served onboard Jallao from 1960 to 1963 and qualified onboard in 1961. I think a person’s first submarine is like the first of many things for a person, very important in that person’s life. We live in Wilson NC, which is about 50 miles east of Raleigh, Just off I-95. Anyone passing this way, give me a call and will try to set up a meeting for lunch, dinner Etc. I may be contacted by any of the following: Jerry L. Emerson 2409 Womble ST SW Wilson, NC 27893
Phone: 252-235-2926 Cell: 252-289-6329 Fax: 252-291-2836 E-Mail: pjemerson9384@simflex.com Thanks, Jerry
