A miraculous thing happened in the plains of Nebraska, in a little town
called Omaha. Will Rix and his wife, Jodeen, needed some information about
the USS John R. Craig DD885 for a naval claim, and decided to try and
find some shipmates
who could help. One shipmate led to another, and after nearly 40 years
they planned a reunion in Omaha, Nebraska in 1989 and 17 shipmates
showed up. From this reunion the USS John R. Craig Reunion Association
was born. Since then we have had 28 reunions all over the country. We will keep this website going to help inform you as to what is happening with and to the Association. |
