NAVCOMSTAPHIL San Miguel Reunion Page
Last Updated on December 21, 2011

The 2011 NAVCOMSTAPHIL San Miguel Reunion is now over. It was held July 7 - July 14 2011 at Boyd Lake State Park in beautiful Loveland, Colorado. John Stetter came from Switzerland. John Liljequist made it from Singapore. Art & Helen Reimer flew in from Hawaii. Most drove thousands of miles round trip for the chance to relive old times and make many new memories. HUGE thanks to Rick & Nally Moore for coordinating the many events and food.

Mike Phillips came up with a design for shirts, mugs and possibly other memorabilia, pictures below. To order shirts, mugs and more for yourself. Download the command logo picture to the left. Go to either of these two sites (www.vistaprint.com or www.customink.com) to place an order using the logo.

Reunion Slide Show

During the reunion we had a Friday night build your own pizza event. Rick made up homemade pizza crusts and everyone brought their own toppings. We had a photo slide show that included almost 1,000 pictures from back in the day. For many of us it was the highlight of the trip. You can grab every picture shown by downloading and extracting the zip files below. If you throw all the pictures in one folder and sort by name it will play as  a slide show much like we saw it at the reunion. Some pictures are pre or post "station ditto" days but were added as they include relevant scenery. If you were at the reunion and copied the pictures from Jake's USB drive then you already have everyone of these pictures.

Reunion Photos

Below you will find a mixed collection of photos from the reunion. Some from cameras, others from cell phones. Some good, some not so good. But I've left them all in the collection regardless. I will upload each days photos as I get them done. Scroll to the bottom for the next set.

  

Wednesday July 6

Most folks were travelling on Wednesday. If you have any photos to contribute send them to Tim

       
    Texas to Colorado    

Thursday July 7

Thursday saw folks arriving at the campsite and their hotels. Those Moore Grandkids had fun playing in the rain.

           

Friday July 8

First full day at the reunion for most. Started the day with a campfire breakfast. Finished the day with a Beer Potluck, Build Your Own Pizza, Reunion Slide Show Muster at one of the Park Pavilions. Following the pavilion muster we continued the festivities back at the campsites. Tori Zeigler's mojo (with real ESQ rum) started taking it's toll. John Liljequist broke out a rare bottle of Tanduay he dragged from Singapore. Later Jennifer Stadleman (formerly Busko) arrived and then the volume got real loud. That then got the attention of the overly friendly park rangers who poured out the full bottle of Tanduay. It was the first of many visits they would make over the next week. Guess they didn't like the Texas flag at the Jacobs/Zeigler campsites. Next muster everyone bring a state flag to really piss them off!
