MIKE REUTER'S 2009 REUNION PHOTOS

The first 3 rows of photos were taken aboard LST-325, which serves as the USS LST SHIP MEMORIAL and is berthed on the Ohio River in Evansville, IN.  This ship is the only ship from WWII still able to sail under it own power.   Take this link to the USS LST SHIP MEMORIAL web site home page.

The item in the center of this group of photos is a memorial photo of our visit to the USS LST SHIP MEMORIAL that was signed by all the volunteer workers on board the ship during our visit of July 9, 2009.

The group photo in the center of the 3rd row includes (left to right):  Mike Reuter, Al Lehto, Jimmy Stephenson, Larry Armstrong, Don Smith, Ernie Dykstra and Tom Strassburg (of the USS Sutter County)

The following photos were cropped from larger photos that appear elsewhere on this page.  This was done to provide as many individual photos as possible.  Because of the cropping process, some photos may appear grainier than others.  For that, I apologize; but, I have no way to correct that problem.

The next few groups of pictures include our shipmates with family members and close friends.  In meeting all the spouses, significant others and family members in attendance, it is obvious each man who served aboard the "901" has been blessed more than they probably deserve.
