I met Andy Gorto for the first
time in Key West, FL. at our
the BurninBush website on
Feb. 14, 2001 and Andy found
the site and joined on Feb. 17,
2001. Including myself, Andy

Bushnell Reunion. At the time,

4 years to get enough members
to even begin to think about a
reunion. But we both had the
dream of seeing the Bushnell
group grow.

the first USS Bushnell Reunion at the Grand Key Resort in
Key West, Florida. For years, Andy and I would still
Andy Gorto loved planning and attending the Bushnell
Reunions. He has been missed by all since the Tampa
reunion, but his heart has always been with us. He is now at
rest, free from the pain he has endured for so many years,
waiting for the final ressurection.
You worked hard and tirelessly Sailor and we have to say it
was a job well done.
