The First U.S. Naval Beach Battalion
Reunion 2001
Beaumont, Texas
May 9 -- May 12, 2001
Dorothy and Edwin Roberts hosted this event for the
fourth (yes, fourth!) time and planned a gathering that everyone enjoyed.
Dorothy, Edwin and the whole Roberts clan joined together to
make everyone feel at home. They scheduled enough activities to keep it
interesting and they even invited us into their home for a real Texas-style
barbecue. If you missed it, you may never know how the Tur-Duck-En came to be.
I suspect I speak on behalf of everyone who attended when I
say,
"Thank you"
We took many photographs of the festivities and have posted them
here for you to see. We hope you enjoy them.
