The 2008 Sperry reunion was held at the Holiday Inn East in Harrisburg, PA.

Thursday April 24th was check in day. It was great to just hang out with shipmates and catch up on what had happened over the past year. We welcomed several new members and first time attendees this year. It was really great to see these first timers renew friendships and recall stories of life on the Sperry.

As members came in and brought items for the silent auction, the tables slowly covered with food items, crafts, trinkets, and memorabilia. Interest in these items caused a steady procession by the tables.

When night time came, we had the opportunity to go out to the local eateries and enjoy the Harrisburg cuisine.

Friday was the day of the planned tour. This years tour was to the Gettysburg Battlefield and National Museum. Many also visited Hershey, PA and took the tour of the Hershey Chocolate Factory.
