Thought I would check in and look at the letters posted here and so far they are good. Marion and I are keeping in touch with people and hope to increase the number of people going down to the dragoon affair. It should be fun. See you there.

Okay, working out final details for the reunion in DC. They are getting us a hospitality suite. I should know more within the next day or so. We will see how much it would cost and divvy out the cost among our attendees.
Right now we are shooting for Friday, Sat and Sunday, August 9, 10 and 11th. We may also throw Thursday in too. I have to talk to Carl Furtado later today.
So stop by again very soon and get all latest, then you can call the hotel and book your rooms, very shortly,.

Wow, good thing I called today, for we wanted to stay over on Sunday and Monday, and the hotel is already booked solid on those days. The great gal on the phone got in another hotel for those two days, which overlooks the harbor, for a great price.
So if you haven't made your reservations yet, do it today!!!!!

I'm very jealous, you know! I guess I will have to email in a letter again (I'll try to make it on time this year!) As for me, the entire month of August I will be with the MEU in Australia training. It sounds like it could be a good time, but getting ready to go is a huge pain. The Australia Agricultural inspection is very invasive (every, box, truck, and yes, helicopter must be thoroughly inspected which means taking most of the exterior apart. Big pain. But I digress. . .
I hope all goes well and will expect lots of updates and pictures!

You will be there in spirit with us. Maybe we can touch base via phone while we are there, so you can say hi. Of course, happy as always to share photos, etc.
Ya, and that does sound like a pain to go through all that planning for Australia. But, you gotta do whatcha gotta do!
