who served on the USS Hugh Purvis DD-709 in any year, for any
length of time, in any rank or rate.

supplies last!!! Contact one
of your old ship-mates and tell him what a great time we have at the
reunions and how much we would love to see him become an active member.
One little phone call or letter could make all the difference in
convincing one more old Swabbies to join our ranks. St. Louis promises
to be a great time and we would love to see lots of new faces there as
well as all of you regular attendees. Use the Membership Information
