What a great time.............
Peter and Peggy Gamwell hosted the 20th Kretchmer Reunion in Charlotte NC
Their efforts are appreciated by all.
To be honored by the City of Charlotte in such a way,
will make this reunion of the USS Kretchmer one
of a kind!  Race fans, especially enjoyed Low's Motor Speedway and Hendrick Motorsports tours. 
We, and many others, did a "walk-about" the city,
oh, so much history.............
