A message from our fearless leader

 

USS Jupiter AK-43 / AVS-8

Reunion2008/USSJupiterAK43AVS8.jpg 

USS Stoddert Crewman Ron Zorn served aboard Jupiter 3 years before the Stoddert. He and Mike Rigdon have been the hosts for Jupiter reunions since 2000. The Jupiter won 6 Battle Stars in WW II and Korean. Her crew is now so few that future reunions would be impossible, so Ron and Mike requested to be a part of the Stoddert Group, which was approved at the Jacksonville Business Meeting. We are looking forward to future reunions with USS Stoddert.

Ron Zorn and Mike Rigdon
