AUGUST 28, 2007

DOUBLETREE HOTEL, BURLINGAME, CA

 The U.S.S. Brooke DEG-1/FFG-1 Association held it's sixth annual reunion at the DoubleTree-San Francisco Airport Hotel in San Francisco, California, August 29 - September 2, 2007. Sixty six shipmates, family and friends attended the annual gathering and it turned out to be one of our best yet. The camaraderie and friendship that flowed over four days of events was a continuation of the Brooke spirit that has grown each year when we meet. And while old friendships continued, new friendships were made or renewed with the addition of many "first time" attendees this year. My hat is off to all of you who traveled many miles to see old friends and share your experiences of Brooke with others. The following pictures are a representation of those four memorable days and I have tried to capture the best memories of that wonderful time spent together with some great folks. As with each year's photos, and the captions beneath,  I take full responsibility for my attempt at wit, or lack thereof.
