I found this “daily events” souvenir program from the first Calvert Associates reunion (1979) among my copies of several early editions of the Calversion newsletters kindly provided by Al Bradbury (RDM, ’53-’56).
Thanks again to Al for providing a great set of Calvert-related photographs and memorabilia.
Here is a Calvert ashtray that was posted for auction on Ebay a few times in early 2016. Please comment if you know anything about this Calvert artifact. The Calvert Marine Museum won this item and has added it to their USS Calvert collection.
Here’s another win from Ebay: The Calvert’s 1955 far east cruise book.
