USS Batfish (A SubSim meet?)

[Arlo]

Someone once asked me if I was possibly drumming up interest in a SubSim get-together. Oklahoma has a Balao on the grass (U.S.S. Batfish). Just throwing a hook out to see if anyone or how many may be interested in having some sort of event in Muskogee, Oklahoma. It's not the tourist magnet some places are but, we'd really just be there to gather around a sub and eat bar-b-que anyway, right?

So far the initial response from Mr. Rick Dennis (the park manager) is positive. Now it comes down to how much interest there is, a good date that most everyone can make (preferably with decent weather) and the logistics and cost of entertainment, food and facilities. This could be an event of mutual benefit.

So if you guys have the desire and can provide some date recommendations that most all could make for the coming year, I'll contact local talent and caterers to get a cost per head (with some left as a suitable donation to the Batfish).

P.S. Rick said there is a really good possibility that the Batfish's living history unit would make itself available to give this more of a living history gala affair type of event feeling. The event would be open to the public.

So far, it appears that the months April, May and June are the most promising. Any other suggestions or interest?
