Just got home from a great Reunion!!! We had a super time just being together and talking as we always do. A "BIG THANK YOU" to Bob and his team for all the work they did putting this together!!!!! I am already looking forward to next year and encourage you all to start planning as soon as the details are made known, Bob and his teams have already started working out the details and the best way to thank them for their hard work is to attend the Reunion. Remember if you think you have a hard time getting around their will be volunteers to push you around in a wheel chair if we need too in order to see you! We had a great meeting and a great time, join us next year! Love you all Brothers and families and friends!

Looking forward to Tommy! You travel safe too Brother. I will be there Sunday afternoon!

Hey Nick
I would like for you and I to spend some time together talking about our flight home and be sure if we were on the same flight. From what we have shared so far it sure sounds like we were.
I moved around from company to company so much I was never with the same men for very long.
My Son and Daugter -in -law are coming with us and looking forward to meeting everyone.
have a safe trip and I[ll see you soon.
Tommy

If anyone attending the Reunion is or was a Nurse or a Doctor, please track me down on Sunday upon arrival. I have a surgical wound on my lower left leg that I will need help changing the dressing on Monday. I have everything I need except help t do it. I cannot reach it properly to do it myself and my wife will not be able to attend with me. No Nurses or a Doctors and I will be seeking a volunteer from the crowd. Need the help or I cannot attend as the wound must be changed on Monday. Quite a different post isn't it?

The auction is still on at Branson,and DON'T FORGET YOUR SHOT GLASSES.

With the less than hoped for turn out we will still have the raffle and auction? I have several nice items to bring as I imagine other folks do too!

I hope we are!!

I see that C Company is tied with A Company in the number coming - with C Company having a slight edge because the daughter of Gary Strong is coming. So C Company - let's get it together - we need more sign ups to out number A Company- especially from those of you who knew Gary Strong and can tell all of his stories that he never wanted his daughter to know.

Next month at this time 24 of us and family and friends will be having a great time at our Reunion in Branson! That's correct it is only a month away! I looked at Who's Coming under the 2022 Reunion tab and saw 24 names, and two of them are family of our Brothers, that means only 22 of our Brothers have signed up! Again, I hope you are waiting till the last minute to sign up so you can fool me and there will be many more in attendance, hope you sign up soon so Bob Spencer knows how to plan for us to have a great time. I have already collected several nice items for the raffle and auction and hope you have too! Hoping to see many more of you in a month so let's get you signed up. Need help, call me and I will be glad to sign you up! Love and see you soon to all our Brothers and their families!!!!!

Any one attending the Branson Reunion, can order any shirt listed on the PX can be ordered by contacting me, and picked up and paid for at Branson. The order must submitted
by 08/22/2022.
To order call me PH# 618-281-4469

We are still only 22 signed up for the Reunion this year! Who will be the next three that will get to at least 25 sign-ups? Will it be you? C'mon guys help that number grow!!!

We are only a little over two months away from our Reunion and only 19 have signed up! I know we will have more sign up but do not be that person who puts it off and your buddy does not see your name so he does not sign up as he thinks you will not be there! I have been gathering some neat things for the raffle and auction so do not forget to start putting your box of things together! Should be a great time, see you there Brothers!!

Sounds like it could be a very interesting project. I agree that it is a good Reunion topic!

The guest book comments and short stories are rich in history and feeling. I've been kicking around the idea of writing a sequel to our 589th history by extracting some of the guest book comments and short stories into a second book. Hopefully, Dennie Pendergrass remembers how we got the first book printed. Perhaps something to discuss at the reunion.
