The 3 Old Salts (Darlin, DeFranco & Newbold) were going to have a mini-reunion in 2004 at our house in Rockport. John & Val Darlin were there but the DeFranco's couldn't make it.

|
|
|
John & Beverly DeFranco came to visit several times while we lived in Rockport. This was taken in 2001 at Virginia's on the Bay in Aransas Pass.
