In 1992, NR held a reunion (presumably the 2nd reunion hosted by Ted Rockwell (NRHQ 1949 - 1964) aligned with the publication of his book THE RICKOVER EFFECT. These are sea stories sent in by attendees of the event. This copy was contributed to NR-HA by Andy Stadnik (NRHQ 1982 - 1987).
Note that pages 4-23 are not included since they list all NR alumni through 1962 with PII included - we have a full copy in our files.
A simple list without PII was also provided as pages 98-106 - these are included.
