Terrible Tenth Reunion, Charleston, S.C.

Georgia and I flew to Charleston, South Carolina on October 13th for Hugh's annual reunion with his "Class of 1963" company mates from the U.S. Naval Academy.  Neither of us had spent much time in Charleston, so we came in early for the reunion, to enjoy all of Charleston in an unrushed fashion.  While in Charleston, we were able to meet some old friends, Mary Lynn and Randy Conway in Columbia, SC.  Mary Lynn and Randy were our neighbors for four years in Antioch, California in the early 1970s.  The reunion allowed us to see Charleston by horse carriage, eat wonderful meals (one of which was on a river cruise), and the connect with all of Hugh's classmates, that were able to attend.
