Future reunions.

Possible Locations for Future Reunions

Individuals interested in helping to host or coordinate a future reunion meeting should coordinate with the Association Officers, as well as gathering materials on possible future site locations to present to the membership at our annual meeting.  Host cities can usually provide some presentation information and materials.  We need to continue with planning for our reunions as far in advance as possible as many other organizations do.  Your officers welcome your suggestions and assistance.  Ideas and contacts are always helpful.

Previous reunions.

The 2009 (13th annual) reunion meeting was held on October 5, 6, & 7, 2009 in the picturesque town of Mt. Airy, NC, the town where actor Andy Griffith grew up. here.   55 people attended, and I think that a good time was enjoyed by all in attendance.  Most of us enjoyed a police car tour of the town, and enjoyed visiting, shopping and the friendly people.  The meeting was well attended as was the final dinner together.  The meal was great and the comradeship as usual was outstanding.  This was the largest turnout so far.  Lets hope that we will see even more of our members at the next one!

The 2008 (12th annual) reunion meeting was held at the Grand Canyon Railway Hotel in Williams, Arizona on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of October 2008.  While only eight members were able to attend the actual group totaled twenty-eight people in all.  A Grand Canyon scenic train trip was made to the Canyon followed by a canyon rim bus tour and an overnight stay at the Maswik Hotel at Canyon.  A good time was had by all attending.

The 2007 (11th annual) reunion meeting was held at the Settle Inn in Branson, MO, September 4, 5, & 6, 2007.    Over thirty-six members and guests enjoyed the amenities of Branson and the camaraderie of being with friends and associates.  Illness and medical procedures kept some of us from attending this one (your webmaster included) so I cannot give you an accurate report on everything that occurred.  Perhaps there will be more information from those that attended that we can post later. 

The 2006 (10th annual) reunion meeting was held at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in Williamsburg, Virginia on October 10, 11, & 12, 2006.  Fifty members and guests attended the meeting and colonial style dinner.  As usual, good camaraderie was found among the attendees.  A lot of stories were remembered and told in the hospitality room.  Many visited Colonial Williamsburg.  Some of us visited the U.S. Army Transportation Museum at Fort Eustis, VA.   Gerd arranged for some to take a cruise on a sailing ship from Yorktown.  Another great reunion.  Some new members present for the first time.  Make your plans to attend the next one!
