What a Great Reunion we just had in Dayton, Ohio!! Thank You Mike and Cindy Worthington , you both did a Great Job. Also , many Thanks to Billy and Norma Clark, Jane Wyban, Bill Edger,Dale and Dee White, and everyone else who helped. We had many new Brothers join us this year, and said they would see us again Next Year.
At our annual meeting it was voted by the majority to hold the Reunion in San Antonio,Texas.. A return to Lackland AFB. It was also, decided by the group to extend the reunion ,so next year it will begin on Weds thru Sunday,which gives us more time to remenice.
