We are working to get a ride to the Capital to view the model of USS Missouri BB-63. We may also potentially be able to meet
with the Governor while we are there. The hospitality room will be open. The auction begins at 7:00 PM of special items. Prior to that will be an opportunity for you to bring your cruise book or any other special items from USS Missouri that you think others would like to see.
