Reunion Information

 

Dayton is Done, and it's on to Lincoln for the 13th Standup in 2012 !

The Dayton Reunion came off well from 14 to 18 June 2010. 116 loyal members showed up, fewer than hoped for, but enough to have a good time. 

Everyone enjoyed the musical interlude by the Systems Go Ensemble of the Air Force Band of Flight at the AF Museum Dinner Under the Wings.  This was followed by B-47 pilot Lt Col Norm Stuckey telling tales of his experiences at Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, and later as a POW in a German Stalag.

The Riverboat dinner cruise was enjoyed by all as was the time at historic Carillon Park and the side excursion to the Wright Brother's Mansion at Hawthorn Hill. 

Things wrapped up Friday night with our traditional banquet and lively dance music provided by the Kim Kelly quartet. 

Friday morning we took time for some serious business and selected Lincoln as our 2012 reunion site.  Billy Williams inherited the coveted Reunion Chairman's Fur Lined Potand will be ably assisted by the many members residing in the Lincoln viscinity.  So, watch this space for news from Billy...

Regards and best wishes from the Dayton Bunch,
