CURRENT MUX NEWS
110/11/24 - We learned recently that Garth Pochocki
passed away last April 6th. Unfortunately, his family did not share that info
with us. His son-in-law contacted us a couple of weeks ago looking for a
picture of him way back when in his Navy uniform. Joanne Filewicz came up
with 2 photos for him as Garth and her husband, Ray served together. Garth was
onboard for the 1966 WestPac cruise. He is pictured in the 1966 WestPac cruise
book - page 38. Go to MightyMux.com and go to cruise books tab.
10/31/24 - James "Jimmy"
Franklin Carter passed away 10/31/24. Jimmy was onboard the Mux 1958-1962 as a
BT2. He was the associations long time chaplain.
9/20/24 - Plans for a 2025 Reunion in Branson, MO did not pan out.
Bottom line is that the full-service hotels with sufficient meeting space that
initially showed interest in hosting our annual reunion either did not have
enough meeting space left available or priced themselves out of our budget. At
this late date, other locations we canvassed just didn't have the meeting space
still available either. We are returning to booking reunions 2 years in advance
as we did pre-Covid so as to get ahead of the lack of sufficient affordable
meeting space issue. With Executive Board approval the change of location was
made. We regret any inconvenience this change has created.
