I agree with Morris and his suggestion to honor our departed comrades at the St Louis reunion.  Morris said he has put something together on this subject and I would suggest that our president, Darrell appoint him to do this.  I certainly am willing to help in any way the president so desires.  Such a presentation would have to be approved by our reunion chair person and the family of Don Fraser.

Hi All:
 
I just wanted to let everyone know that there will be a reduced price for the banquet dinner and breakfast buffet at the St. Louis 2008 Reunion for children.  The price will be $30.00 for the ages of 4-12.  There will be no additional charges for the registration fees for children of this age.
 
Thank You.
