Based on 3 name badges and 2 patches that my father had from attending PT Boaters reunions, here are the dates of some of the reunions he attended:
1972 (1-4 Sep) = Memphis, Tennessee
1973 (31 Aug – 3 Sep) = Charleston, South Carolina
1976 (3-6 Sep) = New England
1982 (2-6 Sep) = Denver, Colorado
1983 (25-29 Aug) = Washington DC
(Probably 1970’s) = Virginia
These reunions apparently started in 1966 based on what I read on the Internet, and the last one was held in July 2010.

I just added this photo today (2 June 2017).
The “Me” guy in the photos of the PT277 crew is GM3C John Joseph Zymos (1912-1983) from East Rockaway, New York. According to records, Zymos joined RON23 in December 1944, three months after my father joined RON23, so the PT277 crew photos are most likely from 1945 in the Philippines. Zymos birth year of 1912 means he was 12 years older than my father who was born in 1924. I found a photo Zymos sent to my father circa 1978 and this is what he wrote on the back of his photo: “Hi Mosko, it’s a long time between drinks. I saw your name in the PT Boats paper. I sent you some pictures of us and some of the officers and men, can you give me their names. P.S. This is me now at Legion Hall at 66 yrs young. HA. The best of health.” He attached a printed address label on the back with his full name and address.
