I posted 9 more of our deceased Brother's on the Latest News Page that I found while searching the web for them due to their rejected emails I sent out about our 2024 Reunion.

I sent out 498 emails and got back 71 replies. That's just a 14% reply rate. I am pretty disappointed with that but I guess it is what it is. If you are reading this and have a new email address, click the link above to update your contact info. If you just haven't replied, please do.

I fear we have lost many more but the process of searching the other 430 would be daunting.

Hope to see you all in Norfolk, VA.

looking to buy two 589th winter hats if you still have some.Mine is pretty nasty and I wear it all the time. no big hurry and I will send a good check to whomever. send me a letter with a address and I will send money. Bruce Rittschof

Thank You.

Wanted to let everyone know that Jimmy Hendrix has been diagnosed with cancer. He will be undergoing chemo treatments as soon as he is well enough. If that turns out to not be an option, he will need surgery which will entail a long recovery.

Please keep Jimmy in your thoughts and prayers as he fights this.

We love you Jimmy you and look forward to seeing you at this year's reunion.

I'm late in posting this comment, so please forgive me for that!

Dennie Pendergrass was admitted to the hospital several days ago and soon after was operated on for an obstruction in his bowel. The surgery went well and Dennie is back home recovering. I am hopeful we will get to see him at this year's reunion.

Take care Dennie and get well soon!

WOW! Christmas and the New Year are almost here! With all the family hoopla the next couple of weeks I want to take time to wish all my 589th Brothers and their families a vey Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year! We never know what another year will bring but I am pretty sure it will bring another Reunion for us! If you have any ideas about where we should hold the 2024 Reunion for the 589th please let me know and we can look into it. We are working on this now and will continue until we know where we will be going! Have an idea? Let me know soon and it will be discussed and researched for availability! Again Happy Holiday Season to all and Welcome Home! Love you all!

Happy Birthday to Bob Spencer (Thank you Facebook for telling me)! Hope you are doing well and already making plans for the next Reunion! We all missed you1 Love you Brother!

I regret to inform you that we reached a decision at this year's Branson Reunion to discontinue our PX Page for 589th on-line sales. You can find our logic and details for this on our Latest News Page.
