Reunion Information
Our next USS Thomaston Reunion will be
San Antonio, Texas on Thursday September 23 Sunday 26th 2010 at the
Staybridge Suites, 123 Hoefgen, San Antonio
For more information and to register for the reunion contact John Rumer:
Phone: (352) 382-0246
E-mail: jrumer@tampabay.rr.com
The 2010 annual reunion of those who served on the Thomaston (and their spouses, of course) will be hosted by
Johnny and Evelyn Witt
The hotel is in a convenient location with the River Walk mall just three blocks away, a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse just a block away and walking distance of the Alamo dome where the San Antonio Spurs play basketball.
There is a trolley across the street that is very inexpensive which goes to all attractions in the area such as the famous San Antonio river walk, the Alamo,
and the Market Place. There is a river boat ride takes about 45 mintues and is very informative giving you a good idea of things to see or do.
As you can tell, we are excited about the Staybridge Hotel. Even though it is not on the Riverwalk, the perks are much better than the other downtown hotels which are more expensive, charge $10-20 for parking each day and do not include breakfast.
The staff at the Staybridge is very nice and excited about the Thomaston crew coming to their hotel in San Antonio.
For questions please email us at witt.j@att.net
See you soon! Johnny and Evely Witt

Our formal diner this year will NOT be formal. We will be going to a Mexican Fiesta at Aldacos restaurant! There will be a Mexican buffet that would also include some American food for those who would prefer it. Aldacos is a poplular local restaurant with a lot of atomosphere. It is convenently located across the street from the hotel.
HAPPY HOUR RECEPTION
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5;30pm to 7:30pm there is a sundowner reception in the Great Room. Complementary beer, wine and appetizers are served. This same area would be available for us should we want to use it for happy hour, cooking out, or just visiting. There is a large room with tables and the patio also has tables and chairs. If the weather is good, this would be a great place to gather. Of course this area would not be stickly for our use.
