Plans for public viewing areas and ceremonies associated with the sub's recovery are still being finalized, but will be announced later this week. The ship sank in minutes, but the sub and her crew of nine never returned. It was found five years ago by a dive team funded by best-selling author Clive Cussler. The meeting is sponsored by the JOY Group for senior citizens but is open to anyone, says president Edith McLemore. McConnell will speak in the fellowship hall, which is entered from the parking lot at Calhoun and King streets.
