GREETINGS:

Well, our biennial reunion is one more memory in the long chain we have experienced over our lifetimes.......

Boston was a great place to meet - lots of weather, history, good food and most important of all, the renewal of friendships that have become so special over the years. We truly missed those who could not be there and send along our best wishes to all who missed due to illness.

The following is a list of those we heard from who just did not feel up to coming:
Helen Cole, Florence Gebhard, Walter Marshall, Mary Quinn, George Stuckey, Windy Tracy, Mable Tracy, Nancy Kazmaier and John Kilner.

Those giving it the good fight are:
Tom Colley, Bob Lomasson, Rebecca Burrill Snipes and Gerry Edwards.

By-pass surgery kept a few away:
Jason Schuch, Fred Foster, Edna Jolly, John Fecondo.

Knee replacements that were late enough to prevent traveling:
Bob Geer, Dick Halvorsen.

Ted Marshall suffered severe injuries in an automobile accident, but, was recovering, after several surgeries, when we last heard from Betsy. We wish them both well.




New names to be added to your roster:

MUMME, Lester R. - VPB-102 Crew lO - Rorman
CHAVEZ, Mike - VPB-102 Crew lO - Rorman
