Oh Boy! I don't know about every attendee, but I had a complete blast at our reunion. I would like to thank
the folks at the Tropicana who set up the banquet. We had 36 folks take the NTS tour on Friday, November 7th and then literally
filled the banquet room to capacity on Saturday with 96 hungrey and thirsty people on Saturday. I have been hoarse
ever since my return because of trying to dominate the conversation at the Celebration Lounge and yelling over the band.
My child bride, Debi (a no-show), and myself were at Butch Kemna's last night fpr a gyoza feast and along with his wife,
Laurie, and Paul and Mary Dennis and we rehashed the events at Vegas. We all agreed that we may want to consider a "cruise
reunion" for the next time. This is way in the future but this is a thought!
Butch and I personally want to thank Marv Gibson who did all the liason for the polo shirts and if anyone would like
to order one of these beauties you can can contact Marv and provide him your size, name you want on the shirt and your mailing
address. Shirts were going for $40 prior to the reunion but there will be an added expense because of mailing.
Marv's email address is:

Next on my list of things to resolve would be Jim Gindlesperger, Jerry Karasz, and Steve Fritts' desire
to preserve some of the War Stories that may be lost due to attrition. What they want us to do is submit a "War Story:
to them and they will edit and preserve these priceless gems to be passed on to those that that are interested. History
is priceless. Please submit your "manuscripts":
