Hi, Ben -

I don't know about anything formal for 2007, but I do know that Dad (Allan Johnson 596) and Leo Dean (HQ) and I are hoping to go this summer in August.  We're still working on our flights and will advise when we're definite.

This is great! Supplies where you need them. The soldiers may be able to use GPS in the same way via a heads up display. May already be in use by some of our elite military.

Ref Mail Call No. 1108 Tom McAvoy's comment regarding James Pease, Regt. Hq.
I have been in communication with him and his wife Edith for many years until December 1999.  At that time James,  a retired Public School Teacher had a stroke & memory loss.

Haven't heard from Mrs. Pease since.

Hi Ben,

Here is the most current list of registrants.  My apologies to those who were either left off of the fist posting or who were reported incorrectly.......(no Veta....Jack is not coming to the reunion with Florence, I read your hometown as a name :>).........)

Also those of you who haven't registered yet, need to strongly consider the "Day in the Park".  It will be a fun patriotic picnic kind of day. There will be more information to follow about that day as soon and my son Gary Davis Jr., and my cohort Gene Frice write up some flowery text about all what will happen that day. In the mean time plan to NOT miss it.

Talk to you again soon..............everybody, register early!!!!

Regards,

Jeanne Davis
