2013 Reunion – San Antonio

The USS Rankin Association's Tenth Annual Reunion was held in San Antonio, Texas from October 10-13, 2013, at the Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk Hotel. The reunion was held jointly with the USS Muliphen Reunion Association. There were 96 attendees from the Rankin and 18 from the Muliphen, for a total of 114. A good time was had by all.
To inspire memories of this reunion, we have this Main Page plus two others. Use the buttons below to view the 2013 Reunion Memory Book or Other Photos from the reunion. The memory Book has pictures of reunion activities and pictures and addresses of all attendees. The Other Photos include high-resolution photos of reunion activities. Many of them also appear in smaller, low resolution versions in the Memory Book.
       


OUR SCHEDULE IN SAN ANTONIO
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10    
Welcome to the Wyndham San Antonio Riverwalk hotel. We had made our reservations at the Crowne Plaza Riverwalk Hotel, but when its name was changed to Wyndham, nobody bothered to tell us. Most cab drivers were aware of the change, but those who drove to San Antonio weren't. It all made for a confusing start.
