SENNET Newsletters
and a few words of wisdom from Stan
|
one big fish or two small ones? I don't have the answer, but I will try to explain the question. There was only one submarine to be named SENNET, and she provided honorable service to our country from 1944 to 1968. In that time almost 1400 men became SENNET crew members. |
These men, and their wives and
children, are the SENNET family,
and like the boat, there is only ONE SENNET Family.
The first group, the original SENNET organization, has been holding annual reunions for at least twenty years. Generally, they hold their reunion in conjunction with a national submarine convention like the WWII Sub Vets (USSVWWII) or the US Sub Vets, Inc. (USSVI). Therefore, I will call them the "National" SENNET family organization.
The second group, newly formed, wants to expand, strengthen, and rebuild a close-knit SENNET family organization. They hold bi-annual reunions independent of any other boats or national conventions. Therefore, I will call them the "Independent" SENNET family organization.
As I said above, there is only one SENNET family. I have created these two names, National and Independent, entirely on my own and only for the purpose of trying to eliminate confusion.
